Kaaimans River – In Flood…

It had been raining incessantly for almost two days. With my motivation beginning to increase with regards to paddling a river it was time to summon the troops. Joe Kotze was the only person I could convince so we made it simple and decided we’d quickly have a little one hour paddle on the Kaaimans River and then a lekker braai with fat, juicy, Northern Cape steaks afterwards. How wrong we were to be. Read on for an awesome account of this river!

Gariep Dam – Multi Day Touring

Gariep Dam – Multi Day Touring

(Not exactly whitewater, but the waves were so big on the dam that I’m sure it qualifies!)

The Gariep dam lies on the Orange River, smack-bang in the middle of South Africa. Nikki and I decided to go check it out and camp on one of the many un-spoilt uninhabited islands to be found and explored. Little did we know that our chosen long weekend was to be synchronised with the 1st serious cold front of the winter to hit the country.

Benoni Weirs and Homestead Dam

It would have been a boring day at home except for one little thing. It had been raining hard! Being on a weekday most people are slaving away but not my madcap friend Grant Morshead. He is lucky enough to call the shots and phones me excitedly. The weirs are flowing nicely and he is coming up the road NOW, do I want to paddle. Hell yes…
