5 Day Orange River Fishing Trail

 

This river escape is focused on fishing on the Longest River of South Africa

3 day & 5 day fishing trails

 

The aim of this river rafting trail is on fishing and we will start day 1 of our trip on the South African side from Base Camp with breakfast. We will setup camp after a long day’s fishing on the banks of the river in the Richtersveld. Where we will sit around the fire and talk about the catch of the day and much more.

 

The next morning after Breakfast we will pack our boats and paddle down stream for a day full of opportunities for fishing to our next camp. Our days will be spent on and off the boats fishing daily and you will have plenty of time for fishing during the day. We will take each day as it comes and plan around it all. On the afternoon of day 4, we will pack up and transfer back to base camp via Namibia. The trail then ends after breakfast on day 5.  Everyone is welcome to stay an extra night at base camp, but have to remember that it’s all on own cost. Extra nights’ camping at base camp is R60 per person per night.
