Looking for a little bit of adventure in an amazing setting we stayed over at the Orange River Rafting Lodge near Vioolsdrif on the border with Namibia.

The whole region is so interesting in how the river spawns farms along both banks growing lucerne, herbs, grapes and more. There are also several lodges catering to the likes of us and short stayovers. Our lodge was situated on the banks and we enjoyed several hours taking in the setting and watching the bird life - with a beer in the hand of course.
