The Orange River, one of South Africa's major rivers, is considered one of the purest adventure trails in Southern Africa. Known as the Gariep River or Great River by the local Nama people, it offers a unique outdoor experience for those seeking tranquility and adventure. The Orange River cuts through the Richtersveldt Desert Reserve and is now part of the Transfrontier transformation parks. Activities include early morning paddling, swimming, floating, bird watching, and negotiating rapids and fast-flowing water. Guides assist visitors in paddling through rapids, hiking, and discovering the ecosystem of the desert.
