Outdoor Adventures (White River Rafting)
Relax the Mind and Body with Outdoor Adventures
Life in the big city can take its toll on both the mind and the body and an escape to an environment where the natural world dominates can be just what the doctor ordered in order to recharge the batteries. Outdoor adventures of many types are available to residents from Johannesburg and even further afield only an hour from the city limits of South Africa’s commercial hub. These outdoor adventures can be enjoyed by those adventurous soles who would like to take advantage of the many opportunities to get the adrenaline flowing on the banks of the Vaal River.
The area that surrounds the Free State town of Parys is home to a number of outdoor adventure outfits that offer a wide variety of different pastimes. For those that enjoy the wet and wild experience rafting on the Vaal River can provide both excitement and relaxation. There are also a number of other pursuits that will suit the lovers of the great outdoors. A trip to the Vaal can provide opportunities to enjoy quad biking, abseiling, hiking and other pastimes that allow the adventurer to enjoy the scenic majesty of the region.
Each of the organisations that host these activities has access to professionally trained guides to enhance the entire experience and ensure the safety of those who are taking part in the outdoor adventure. These outfits will also provide safety equipment when required. For those who want to take the family out for a day on the Vaal, remember that not all the activities are suitable for very young children and a simple phone call to the hosts will ensure that the activity is appropriate for the entire family.
An outdoor adventure on the banks of the Vaal need not involve vast amounts of adrenaline. For those in search of a more cerebral experience bird watching and guided nature walks are also available for the discerning nature lover.
The Thrills and Spills of White River Rafting
For those in search of an adventure only an hour’s drive from Johannesburg the possibilities that are offered by white river rafting on the Vaal should not be ignored. During the South African winter months when water levels are lower, outdoor adventures on the Vaal are tremendously popular and the residents of Johannesburg take advantage of the sunny, but chilly weather to enjoy both the thrills and spills of white river rafting on the Vaal, and the hospitality of the nearby town of Parys in the Free State.
