点评:We have just completed the 4 day river rafting.We were a group of 8 ..
We did the orange river, just outside Noordoewer on the namibian side.
First night at the base camp and last night at the base camp.
Our rooms at the base camp were very basic and not very clean..We took the package where we got the tents, chairs, sleeping bags and cutlery.
My husbands sleeping bag was fine, mine i am sure was a childrens size. Luckily i am small so could fit in..Check your size sleeping bag before leaving for the river.
Not well organized on the day when we started rowing. The night that we arrived, after supper, Ronnie(our one guide) gave us a brief chat about toilet facilities and rowing etc.
We were only given our sleeping bags at about 10am so then could only start packing our blue drums.It would have been far better if we had received the sleeping bags the night that we arrived so we could pack and get organized.
Our guides ronnie and rastas tried very hard and worked very hard to prepare our meals .
The one tent had some poles missing so the guides used poles from their tent to make the tent work. They had to then sleep under the gazebo and used the canoes as a wind shield.
The guides also had no light or candle or lantern for the evenings.
The rowing on the river was fantastic. We luckily had good weather.
Just a hint, winter is coming so pack in an inner for your sleeping bag and perhaps even a thermal blanket and hot water bottle.
The scenary along the way is breath taking.
Once we had completed the rowing the kombi picked us up with all our supplies and transferred us back to base camp where we all had a very well deserved shower.
We left very early , before breakfast to get through the border.
As south africans we just showed our covid certificates and didnt have to do an antigen test.
So overall, there seems to be no supervison. We did not meet the manager or supervisor. The two guides really tried their best to get us on the river and keep us safe and fed.
With a bit of supervision, the equipment will be in a better condition, guests will receive their supplies early and the base camp will be much cleaner.
The meat on the last night was really tough so the majority of us just ate the potatoes and garlic bread.
The time on the river was fantastic though.
翻译:我们刚刚完成了为期 4 天的漂流。我们一行 8 人 ..
我们去了奥兰治河,就在纳米比亚一侧的 Noordoewer 外面。
第一晚在大本营,昨晚在大本营。
我们在大本营的房间非常简陋,也不是很干净。我们拿了包裹,里面有帐篷、椅子、睡袋和餐具。
我丈夫的睡袋很好,我的睡袋肯定是儿童尺寸。幸运的是我很小,所以可以放进去。在去河边之前检查一下你的睡袋尺寸。
我们开始划船的那天组织得不好。我们到达的那天晚上,晚饭后,罗尼(我们的一位向导)给我们简短地聊了聊厕所设施和划船等。
我们只在上午 10 点左右才拿到睡袋,所以只能开始收拾我们的蓝色鼓。如果我们在到达的那天晚上就收到睡袋,这样我们就可以收拾行李并组织起来,那就更好了。
我们的导游罗尼和拉斯塔斯非常努力地为我们准备饭菜。
一个帐篷少了一些杆子,所以向导用他们帐篷里的杆子来搭帐篷。然后他们不得不睡在凉亭下,并使用独木舟作为挡风玻璃。
导游在晚上也没有灯、蜡烛或灯笼。
在河上划船真是太棒了。我们幸运的是天气很好。
提示一下,冬天快到了,所以为您的睡袋准备一个内层,甚至可能还有一个保暖毯和一个热水袋。
沿途的风景令人叹为观止。
一旦我们完成了划船,kombi 就带着我们所有的用品来接我们,并将我们送回大本营,在那里我们都享受了当之无愧的淋浴。
我们很早就离开了,在早餐之前通过边境。
作为南非人,我们只需出示我们的 covid 证书,而不必进行抗原测试。
所以总体来说,好像没有监督。我们没有见到经理或主管。两位向导真的尽了最大的努力让我们上河,让我们安全和吃饱。
有了一点监督,设备会更好,客人会早点收到他们的物资,大本营也会更干净。
昨晚的肉真的很硬,所以我们大多数人只吃了土豆和大蒜面包。
不过在河上的时光真是太棒了。
