Escape into the Wild

Escape into the Wild is ideal for visitors who want to overnight on the banks of the Orange River in the Richtersveld. Our Escape into the Wild adventure is perfect if you have a limited time frame, as it starts in the afternoon and ends the following day. The trip begins at our base camp's location, The Growcery Camp.

We depart from our base camp at 14:30 to overlook the Nababeep Community Reserve in the Richtersveld. We take a leisurely paddle, and you can watch the impressive rock formations and birdlife pass you along the river banks.

It is a leisurely paddle and perfect for anyone without previous experience.

Escape into the Wild combines paddling, hiking, and outdoor camping. Once we have arrived at our camp spot on the sandbank, we will set up camp before taking a sunset hike with spectacular mountain views. You can see some fantastic ancient mountains and indigenous succulents of the Richtersveld.

After our sunset hike, we will return to our camp and prepare dinner on an open fire. The sandbank is the perfect venue to sleep under the celestial skies of the Richtersveld. We spend our evening around the campfire and discover the hidden stories and treasures of the Orange River. We will have a healthy breakfast and return to The Growcery Camp the following day. The perfect escape as a wild introduction experience of the Richtersveld.
