Excellent experience
Thank you to the owner, Paul, who refurbished and built a room to make it wheelchair friendly for us. That was totally amazing. For the whole 3 days the staff could not do enough for us, nothing was too much trouble. We had lovely sunsets and drinks on the deck with good food. The fishing guides, Henning SeaMonster and Matthew made Warren's trip one to remember and the boat staff were fantastic. The base camp manager and his staff were also excellent. We will definitely be back.

Top Class Rafting Experience
The Bundi Base Camp was unfortunately badly affected by the February Floods as were all the businesses alongside the Orange River. It is unfair to criticise the current state of base camp as they are working hard to make it as pleasant as possible. The rafting experience was amazing and the two guides who accompanied us were out of this world --Daizen and Clayton. They were also great conversationists. Nothing was too much trouble and they were fantastic cooks . The food was brilliant.

Fantastic experience!!
We were a closed group of 4 families that did the 4 day trip over December. It was very hot but on the water the heat did not bother us too much. Rowing into the Richtersveld is incredibly beautiful and views were amazing. We had a strong wind from in front on day 1 and had to adjust our distance covered. The guides were quite flexible on the overnight

stays but the day 3 spot is something to experience. We had smaller children in the group between 8 and 10 years old and although they enjoyed it as much as the adults, the adults had to do some extra rowing for them.
Bundi was very helpful from the bookings right through to the end of the trip. Some of the group are seriously allergic and the guides were very professional in preparing the food separately.
This adventure is highly recommended!

We unanimously agreed that it was a worthy lifetime experience
We were a group of five men plus the wife of one of the men. Our ages vary from 50 to 84 years old. On 11. November 2022, we left Cape Town 8am and reached the Bundi Camp late afternoon. Border crossing was quick and unproblematic. After a welcome braai we went to bed early in the chalets we had booked. After

breakfast the next morning we received safety instructions, loaded the boats and off we went.
We spend four days/three nights on the river, sleeping on sand banks. The first night we put up a tent but thereafter slept in the open under the most magnificent starry sky. We went down various rapids, the most impressive one called “Sjambok” which was exhilarating. The inflatable canoes are comfortable and solid and none of us flipped over.
The water current assists paddling – only when the river runs wide and slow and a headwind blows, be prepared to work.
Food was aplenty, prepared on open fires fueled by driftwood.
Our two river guides were friendly and efficient, and their strength and fitness were awesome.
On the afternoon of the fourth day, we were picked up with an airconditioned vehicle, brought back to Bundi Camp and had a farewell braai in the evening.
Next morning after breakfast we drove back to Cape Town.

Great fun - exciting but not hectic rapids, test your endurance, contrasting scenery, knowledgable guides, superb stars, take thermal for winter evenings. Sleeping on the bank of the river memorable. A must do for teens and up! Loved it!

We had a wonderful 4-day trip with Bundi Adventures at the end of April. The water level was amazing and we had great bonding time on the river as a group. We were a closed group of 24 family and friends and we had a blast. With beautiful views all the way through, amazingly tasty food and good company, this trip comes very highly recommended!

Undeniably one of the best experiences.
I recently embarked on a 5-day river rafting adventure that left me utterly thrilled. It was undeniably one of the best experiences of my life. The trip was expertly guided by Paul Roberts and Paul Engelbregdt, who went above and beyond to ensure every moment was memorable. From navigating the rapids to attending to the smallest details, and even taking us to explore two mines, their dedication was truly on point. A fantastic journey that exceeded all expectations! We will be back in the future. This is one of those must do trips.

Excellent Family Adventure
I can really recommend a 5-day trip with Bundi on the Orange River. The scenery is breathtaking and Bundi's team made sure that everyone had a fabulous and safe time. Despite the fact that there is a whole globe to explore, I would do this trip again and again if I had the opportunity.

Orange River Birthday Bash
I decided to celebrate my 60th birthday on a 4 day river experience with Bundi. My wife and I were joined by our adult children and great friends. We were a group of 12. What a way to celebrate a birthday. It was a memorable occasion. From our reception at Base Camp by manager Johan and his guides ,Hannes, Kennith and Patrick we were in for a great

experience. The guides are knowledgeable , friendly and always professional.They have a wealth of experience on the flow of the river, how to navigate the rapids and the selection of the overnight accommodation etc etc. Taking into account that all supplies additional to your own drinks and snacks have to be transported on the guides canoes , meals were absolutely fantastic. The area you travel through is contrasting and beautiful. If you are looking for tranquility and a place to find yourself again, this is it. River rafting the Bundi way. I hope to do this again soon.

To be honest these guys put so much passion into the job and I really respect and appreciate it, just came out for a camp for a school called Parklands College and I believe these guys don’t get enough credit for how much effort and love they put in to make it the best experience possible for their guests. Really love it and I wish for the best for them

What a wonderful experience on the Orange River with Bundi Adventures! We stayed in clean and comfortable chalets and were treated to a delicious braai on the first night made by our friendly and talented guides (Pauli & Henry). Base camp is peaceful and beautifully located. We set off on our adventure with Pauli in the lead and Henry sweeping. We were given clear instructions and other interesting information on the journey as we unhurriedly paddled down the river. The pace was perfectly ‘rustig’. Every meal time was memorable. Pauli is an excellent cook and the menu was top notch. Due to our inexperience in camping, we had rough nights sleeping on the beach but waking up to delicious breakfasts helped. Pauli & Henry were incredible guides who made the trip unforgettable and we definitely want to return with the rest of our family and friends.

Fantastic trip! Our guides, Patrick and Dennis, were amazing and the Swarts family were very welcoming. We did a 5 day trip in total with 3 days on the Orange River and we highly recommend it. The food was delicious and at every stop the guides made an effort to keep us entertained- from taking us on hikes to pointing out bird species etc.

We did the 4-day river rafting trip in the beginning of October 2024. What an experience! We were fortunate to be the only 2 travellers on that trip with Morkel and Jeremiah as our guides. They were extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and we had great fun. It was a magical experience travelling on the river winding through the mountains on either side. We were in an inflatable boat which was extremely stable and safe. The rapids were great fun, and although we got stuck on rocks 3 times, we came through unscathed. Both Morkel and Jeremiah unselfishly helped us getting through. There were plenty of food prepared for us and enough relaxing time or just drifting down river. We encountered plenty of bird life and even fireflies one evening. We will recommend Bundi adventures unreservedly for a bucket list experience.

Our family immediately received a friendly and hospitable welcome. Bundi adventures was very accommodating and gave us the option to change our booking. We had nice roast beef with salad and garlic bread for dinner and had a cozy dinner with Paul (owner) and Sarah on the river bank. Loving and cozy environment, would definitely recommend!

Ons gesin het dadelik ‘n vriendelike en gasvrye ontvangs gekry. Bundi adventures was baie akkommoderend en het ons die opsie gegee om ons bespreking te verander.

Ons het lekker braavleis met slaai en knoffel brood gekry vir aandete en gesellig aan tafel saam met Paul (eienaar) en Sarah geëet op die rivier oewer.

Liefdevolle en gesellige omgewing, sal defentief aanbeveel!

My partner, friends and I had an amazing experience with Bundi. Our guides, Clayton and Reggie were awesome, guiding us safely down the river, and also cooking us the best food. The scenery was magical. A life changing experience for sure.

Ons was 'n week gelede op 'n 4 dag trippie met Bundi op die Oranjerivier Wat 'n wonderlike ervaring! Toerusting, etes en organisasie uitstekend. Alle eer moet gaan aan ons 3 gidse: Rony, Leonardo en Dennis. Hulle besonderse persoonlikhede en spesiale aandag was spesiaal. Rony moes selfs my vrou uit die water red na die nappy run! Sal Bundi enige tyd aanbeveel!

Definitely a must when you want to do an Orange River Canoe trip. Bundi staff is helpful, friendly and homely. The guides are extremely knowledgable. Just take a camping mattress on the trip - the ground is very hard to sleep on. The guides made us delicious food on the banks of the river and they supply loads of ice - needed in 47C heat in summer.

The guides were great! They were super knowledgeable about all the fauna and flora down the river. They served us some of the best meals we had in Namibia, accompanied with great conversation. Overall we really enjoyed our experience here and recommend it!

We did a 4-day river rafting experience with Bundi last week and were incredibly pleased with it. Our guides Pauli and Randall were absolutely amazing, taking care of any needs we had (and cooking delicious meals!) and creating a very warm and enjoyable atmosphere. Our group was quite small, which ended up being very nice. At the base camp we did notice that the maintenance was lacking a bit, but the trip on the water as well as the friendliness of the staff at base camp more than made up for that.

Safety: There is no need to worry about safety at all!
