New Years Bash

New Year's Trips with a Difference with River Rafters

Are you looking for a unique and somewhat different way to end off your busy year? Well then, join one of our unforgettable trips and welcome the New Year with us. You will definitely start your December vacation with a bang and end it off with a Bash!!

What makes our New Year’s Party unique and different to other operators?

  • We give musk melon and water melon at 3:30pm on the 31st
  • Huge dance floor with a DJ where a special request is not a problem
  • Hearty meal – Spit braai, Greek salad, potato, butternut, garlic bread and an apple-crumble pie with custard for dessert at 7pm
  • Music till the last 20 people standing or 2am whichever comes first

You will start your trip from our base camp on the Namibian side of the border – passports will thus be required. You will not require visas for South African citizens. View our Kit List and Frequently asked Questions for more information

How Our Trips Work

For New Year’s we offer a choice of 3, 4 & 5 day packages. We can accommodate 5 groups of 36 before New Year’s and a further 3 arriving New Year’s eve. Fitness and paddling experience are not essential as full paddling instructions are given. Languid, carefree drifting is what this river rafting adventure offers. You’ll wallow under the toasting sun, sleep under the flawless stars, and relax under the influence of worriless days. The only decision you’ll have to make is which side of the boat you want to swim from.

Trip Highlighs

Are you ready for the time of your life?

Picture this… Start your day with a cup of coffee, followed by a hearty breakfast. Give our guides the opportunity to introduce you to the basics of rafting, discuss the safety precautions and then you are ready to start an adventure you’ll never forget.

A beautiful mountainous, semi-desert region is what will surround you for the next few days where you can’t help but relax, unwind and forget about city life. On the river, you will experience somewhat raging rapids as well as relaxing flat water where there’s always time to float or sunbathe, enjoy refreshments, lunch on the riverbanks and have a game of Frisbee.

At the end of each exhilarating day you can enjoy sun downers whilst sitting around a cosy fire, admiring the beauty of the sunset. Be soothed by the tranquil flowing water of the Orange River, or enjoy midnight swims under the stars – that’s what memories are made of.

On the last day, you will be transported back to base camp, where you are welcomed by “civilization” in the form of hot showers and toilets.

Later, the aroma of a delicious lamb spit-braai and the sounds of our DJ lure you towards the party as we prepare to welcome in the New Year with dancing and new friends.

Accommodation Options
Option 1 – CAMP:
You camp with your own gear for all evenings of the trip. Cost for camping is already included in costs for the trip.

Please complete the rafting booking form and indicate on the booking form if you would like to upgrade to Chalet accommodation for the first and last night at the camp.

This package is available to the ones in your group who does not want to bring their own camping gear for the evenings on the river and who also prefers to stay in a chalet for the first and last evening at our camp. Availability is dependent on the dates you choose.

We have a Chalet and Camping packet. This packet consists of:
