5-Day Orange River Fishing

Trip InfoHighlightsDeparture Dates

This Orange River Fishing trip is one of the best ways to fish on the Orange River. This fishing trip is combined with river rafting to get from one fishing spot to another. Our fishing adventure will allow you to access some of the best fishing opportunities along the river. You will be able to access areas that are only reachable by raft.

Our fishing policy is a tag and release. This Orange River fishing is only open to the eco fisherman that enjoys sports fishing. We supply all rafting equipment: inflatable rafts, kayaks, paddles and a cooler box. Also, everyone gets a waterproof bag for their possessions. Our guide will accompany you on your fishing adventure. We do not cover more than 25km on our trail. The short paddle allows us to fish and set up ideal basecamps.

We have a small group policy on our fishing trails.
