My favourite picture of the prominent koppie we called Space Shuttle, on the Orange River near the Lesotho border. This part of the river has been virtually dry during the terrible drought of 2014-5-6 but has suddenly recovered following heavy rains. We may be planning a trip to the Mayaputi Gorge if the water continues to run. It’s beautifully mountainous stretch, fairly easy, with a couple of good rapids to spice up the action.
