• River rafting – several companies offer rafting tours of the Orange River

• -28.74417.6171 Orange River Lodge, Noordoewer (At the B1 National Road, next to the petrol station). B&B and restaurant, contrary to the name not directly situated at the river. The rooms all have aircons. This is important as the place can be very hot at times, and regularly over 40 C. Doesn't look very promising from the outside but the food is not bad, and the outdoor tables as well as the rooms are in a nice, shady garden. Lunch 90 N$, kids' menue 60 N$. (updated Feb 2018)
• -28.717.5342 Amanzi Trails, At the shore of the Orange River (Leave Noordoewer towards Aussenkehr on the C13. Turn left after about 10 km, the place is signposted.). Beautiful campsite with huge plots in a park-like setting. Overlanders welcome. No dogs. You can bring your own boat if it is not motorised, no extra charge. No Wi-Fi and proud of it ("Talk to each other!") but there is ordinary cell phone reception from nearby Noordoewer. Camping 150 N$, kids 90 N$, some reduction for the few unshaded places. Canoe hire 200 N$ per day. (updated Feb 2018)
