River Raiders was started up by Roy Shellard at the back of the Velskoen Drive-In in 1984, it was started with only 10 paintball handguns, and weed eater safety goggles was the only safety equipment used in those days. The paintball markers were purchased from National Survival Games. In those days it was known as The Survival Game.
River Raiders has been run by Roy Shellard and his son Brett, (who has been involved for the past 7 years), bringing in fresh ideas and enthusiasm. It has been running for 21 years, making it the longest running paintball range in South Africa!
River Raiders specialises in birthday parties, bachelor parties and is very popular with corporate companies for team building events.
With the facilities at our current field at Inchanga Ranch near Fourways, we have conference rooms, accommodation, restaurant and bar, horse riding and scuba diving, it is proving very popular with companies and groups of friends who have played at River Raiders
