Situated only 95km from Durban and 65km from Pietermaritzburg, the Mkomazi River provides a challenging yet pristine environment for both the first timers and the seasoned veterans. The Mkomazi River boasts some of the best rapids to be found in South Africa, with the Section from Hella Hella to Number 8 being regarded as the biggest traversable Whitewater south of the Zambezi.
The White Water trips start at in Richmond, where transfers are provided to the start and finish of each Section. The trips start at 8.30am and finish between 2 and 6pm (Depending on the river level). Lunch and light refreshments are provided on the river.
Team Wylde Ride have toured many countries by bicycle and have had many awesome experiences. Every time we returned to South Africa we realized that it would be an incredible adventure to cycle around here. So we set up a tour operation that would allow people to do just that, without the hassle of organizing a trip from far away.
