Special Hints: The Orange River originates from the Lesotho highlands up in the Drakensberg Mountains and meanders through South Africa and the amazing Richtersveld Desert Reserve before it joins the icy Atlantic Ocean. The Richtersveld is a unique desert reserve that shows the signs of old volcanic mountains, the trails of Khoi -San people and the aridness of an unforgiving desert reserve that lives off the Orange River. 50% of the succulent plants are endemic to the region and it is famous for its many semi-precious stones. We start our Orange River Expedition from our base camp at Vioolsdrift on the banks of the Orange River. Our Base camp provides you with the necessary comforts like safe parking, hot showers, flush toilets, grassy campsites, bar facilities and safe lockup storage for personal belongings.

The African Adventure Trail Company

Umkulu safari and canoe trails is a Southern African owned company based in South Africa, Namibia and Botswana and specializing in safari and canoe trails throughout Southern Africa. Established in 1997, the company has grown to a formidable force in the tourism industry, due to its excellent service, value for money trails and “hands on” operations by the partners. The name is pure African, being derived from the Zulu language meaning “big” ; “the big wise one” or something bigger and is used in many African languages as a sign of respect on its own or in conjunction with other words.

Umkulu Safari and Canoe trails believe that “adventure” should not be synonymous with unreliability and discomfort, so we have endeavored to add a level of professionalism, reliability to our trails.
We do support sustainable and responsible tourism and focus our emphasis on community driven projects and the education of local staff and trail guides.
