In the winter it’s more of a float down the river.

RonaldJamieG_M, Feb 2026

Water levels are very low in the winter months (January end). It was really a paddle not ‘white water’. The weather was beautiful. We had a nice quiet ride down the river. It was priced accordingly.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Dear Traveler, thank you so much for writing your review. It seems you had a good experience, but the rating doesn't reflect your opinion. In any case, we appreciate it very much.

Unique experience

TONI_D, Jan 2024

We enjoyed seeing locals along the shore enjoying time as families. The scenery was nice. Guides were good. The water levels were very low so was not really a whitewater experience.

Great experience!

Laura_T, Dec 2019

Excellent time on the river with our guide Freddie (Kruger), who pointed out various plants and birds as we floated. Stopped for swimming and after returning my float mates to their hotel, was asked if I minded returning to raft site where we would wait for the return of two other raft excursions. Was the best! Freddie showed me how to catch shrimp! And they were huge! Hope he enjoyed his lunch!

Response from Host, Dec 2019

Fabiola_L, May 2025

All very friendly, it was just me and my husband in the whole group. So it was a private tour. The very good guide always explaining everything and the earring. We were able to get into the river and let ourselves float for a very good stretch. The rains just started so there's not much current, but we'll be back.
