Bushwhacked Outdoor Adventures specialises in Orange River and Richtersveld excursions and is based at Fiddlers Creek campsite in Vioolsdrfit, South Africa.
Their Half Day River trip commences with a transfer to their launch point a few kilometres up stream. The half days' paddle down the majestic Orange River ends at base camp. A tranquil and peaceful time, paddling through the "green belt". There are no crocodiles, but Birds, Water Monitors and much more to see, which the guides will gladly share some interesting information on.
Their Full Day Trip is a copycat of the Half Day trip, except they launch further upstream from the camp, thus allowing a longer time on the river. About halfway through the trip, the guide will find a suitable bank for you to have lunch. The inflatable boat (croc), turned upside down, provides a fantastic table from which to serve lunch. After lying on the beach and soaking in the rays of the African sun, you launch again to complete the second half of the days' paddle, ending at the campsite.
Their Overnighter starts in the morning at Fiddlers Creek base camp. After a pre-launch introduction and safety speech, the Orange River experience commences. The day is spent paddling through some of the world's most beautiful desert scenery, the green banks of the Orange River, contrasting against barren looming mountain ranges of the Richtersveld. Once lunch has been served, the afternoon is spent paddling and drifting down the river before finding an suitable spot to set up camp on the bank. Dinner is prepared over an open fire and the evening is spent under the twinkling heavens of the Southern Hemisphere.
