Olifants River White Water Rafting

The Olifants River in South Africa's Mpumalanga Province is a high volume river which provides great fun for experienced and inexperienced paddlers alike. On the Olifants River you will get the experience of class 3 to 4 rapids with a raft that swings slowly into the current, then towards a giant wave that somehow, at close range seems silent changing into wave trains, standing waves, pour-over and holes resulting in exciting and unforgettable rafting.

The Olifants River passes through a remote tribal wilderness area, surrounded by spectacular kloofs and joins up with the half day section just outside the gorge.

There are 2 sections for paddlers to run. The upper section starts at the confluence of the Olifants and Steelpoort rivers. This section is 45Km long and goes through the Olifants Gorge and joins up at the beginning of the lower section. The lower section is 12km long - lots of big waves and fun rapids, and ends at Manoutsa Park. These 2 sections can also be combined into a 2 day trip, or a 1 day trip on high levels.
