River Rafting
The
River rafting is situated just outside Parys, on the banks of the Vaal
River, 120 kms from Johannesburg. The Vaal river is conducive to fun team
building, as the grade I to II rapids are not too intimidating,
allowing the thrill of adventure and fun. Rafting is performed under professional
supervision and safety standards are extremely high. Specially designed
two man inflatable rafts renowned for their safety, comfort and stability
are used. Protective headgear and life jackets are worn at all times and
alcohol is not allowed on the river. No previous experience is necessary
and only a moderate level of fitness is required to enjoy.
