FAMILY RAFTING
VAAL, ORANGE & TUGELA Why struggle to paddle yourself in rapids when you can bring the family and enjoy an exciting trip with a guide on board the raft with you? Run the river in expert hands, wield a paddle yourself, and show the kids how nature in the raw is fun! Ages 6 to 75. Bring granny too!

Meet Ole Man River
Raft with The Riverman! Graeme "the River Professor" pioneered whitewater rafting in South Africa and wrote the book on it. Meet him and hear all about his adventures worldwide.
PASSENGER RAFTING Relax, hang on and enjoy the ride... our oarsman does the rest. Ideal for families, oldies, the disabled and the laid back.

Wide choice of boats for young and old
Discounts for families & groups
RAFTS:
Nothing beats running the rapids with a group of
friends or family all on the same boat - sink or swim together! With our expert
raftmasters steering you through, you can paddle hard or just hang on for dear
life. Rafts are great fun for everyone - for families with small children,
oldies, or people who just want to be along for the ride. MORE...
 GECKOS:
Just imagine jumping on a little tube and blasting your way through the whitewater! Geckos are amazing fun for young and old: they ride the waves in style! We carry geckos on the rafts and when we come to suitable rapids we roll them out, pump them quickly and get going for the best fun of the day. MORE...
CROCS:
The original 2-seater "ducky" was developed for South African river conditions by Graeme Addison. It's seen everywhere on our rivers (although we steer clear of the mass trips of 30 crocs or more!). Crocs sometimes accompany our trips and you're welcome to take one: skipper at back, rock-spotter in front! MORE...
DRIFT BOATS:
The "drift boat" is an inflatable raft, often under power, that takes flyfishermen downriver in search of the ultimate catch. You can stand up securely and cast your line exactly where you want it as your guide manoeuvres in the currents. Only Riverman offers this service to chase the elusive Yellowfish. MORE...
The RIVERMAN pioneered rafting tourism in South Africa and remains a leader in guide training and the development of new types of boats and equipment. Running expeditions is always difficult and complex. We strive to deliver a professional service and assure you of our best effort. Our guides are members of Adventure Standards Africa and have done training courses covering river safety and rescue, leadership, operations and environmental ethics.
We
produce a video for virtually every trip. See the latest and the greatest
experiences with Riverman! You can order your own on the spot.
