White River Rafting
The Thrills And Spills Of White River Rafting
When the stresses and strains of the big city become too much for the inhabitants of Johannesburg and Pretoria, many of them head fro the sanctuary of the Free State and specifically the areas surrounding the charming town of Parys. Parys is situated almost on the banks of the Vaal River; in fact a short car trip of around fifteen minutes will bring the lover of the outdoors within reach of some of the most scenic parts of South Africa. Many people do not only venture to the banks of the Vaal but also take the plunge into the river itself where the thrills and spills of white river rafting await them.
White river rafting is one of the most popular pastimes for visitors to the Vaal and a wide variety of different service providers can provide for the needs of even the most hardened adrenaline junkie. During the summer season the Vaal River is often in flood and this is when the hard core white river rafting enthusiasts leave the cities of Gauteng in droves in order to enjoy one of the best river rafting experiences available in South Africa.
Even those for whom white river rafting holds no allure flock to the Free State and the banks of the Vaal River. There are a variety of other pastimes in the area which will satisfy the requirements of both the adventure enthusiast as well as those in search of some peace and quiet. For those who want to experience a slightly more sedate Vaal River experience there are a variety of bird species that call the banks of the Vaal River home and the area is renowned for both the variety of birdlife and the many unique examples of South Africa’s flora and fauna.
A Little Bit of Parys
If getting your feet wet during a white river rafting experience takes you out of your comfort zone and you would prefer to keep to the slightly more urban environment, then the charming and friendly hamlet of Parys might be just what you’re looking for.
Parys has built a reputation for welcoming visitors from near and far and attractions such as restaurants that boast local cuisine, as well as a variety of different watering holes will allow visitors to get a taste of the local flavours. There are also excellent opportunities to shop for local handicrafts, as well as curios and antiques and many a visitor has left Parys with both fond memories and a keepsake that they will treasure just as much as the memories of a trip to one of South Africa’s most loved white river rafting destinations.
