Bundi Orange River Base Camp

Bundi Orange River Base Camp is a riverside adventure camp and outfitper tucked on the banks of the Orange (Gariep) River, just across the Namibian border and roughly 8–10 km from the border town of Noordoewer in southern Namibia. Set in the old pioneering River Rafters base camp that once launched expeditions down the Richtersveld stretch of the river, it is today a family-run launchpad for canoeing, rafting and fishing trips, as well as a laid-back place to sleep under a gloriously starry sky. What makes it appealing is the combination of easy, family-friendly water adventure and genuine riverside hospitality. The Orange River here is graded 1–2 — small, forgiving rapids perfect for first-timers and children — and no prior experience is needed, since guides paddle alongside and teach you as you go. Trips range from a half-day taste to a five-day journey with nights spent camping on the sandbanks, and guests consistently single out the guides, the food and the scenery as the heart of the experience.
