Customer Reviews

Incredible and one of the best experiences during my journey through South Africa. The guides made a really good job. The boat ride itself is already a highlight but the dive with the seals is outstanding. - Benedikt Wielsch


We're a family of 5 with a 7y old. Equipment was excellent, as were the instructions and the boat ride. Wonderful experience swimming with the seals. We had a great time. - Bruno Jansen


Many thanks to our guide Angelo. He did a great job and made us girls very happy. We had a great time and would recommend it to anyone at any time. We are happy with the photos and videos and the price for the whole package is really completely justified. - Anna Kopinke


It was very spectacular and wonderful . - Nils Kröger


Es war ein tolles Erlebnis. Start und Landung mit dem Boot mogen von aussen vollig wild aussehen, sind aber dann, wenn man mal selbst im Boot sitzt, absolut harmlos und der Skipper und die Crew haben das toll gemacht :) hier wird aber bewusst seitens der Crew fur etwas Adrenalin bei den Bootsinsassen gesorgt :) Das Schnorcheln selbst war atemberaubend. Nur nicht vergessen: es handelt sich trotz allem um wilde Tiere, dessen sollte man sich vor Buchung bewusst sein. Angst kann die Erfahrung mit den Tieren im Wasser schnell einschranken und den Guides das Leben schwer machen. Es wird zu jedem Zeitpunkt auf die Sicherheit der Teilnehmer geachtet und die Guides wissen gut, wie sie mit den Tieren und den Teilnehmern im Wasser umgehen mussen. "Safety first" ist das Motto. Ich fand es wirklich super und wurde es sofort wieder machen. Fur jemanden, der keine Scheu vor Wasser, Tieren und Bootsfahrten hat eine absolute Empfehlung. Danke fur das tolle Erlebnis! - Felix Graspointner


Activity Description

Our AfriCanyon river adventure starts with registration, getting your wetsuit, kit and a quick briefing at basecamp. We then transfer you to the river entry point, a short drive in our vehicle and within minutes you are on your way. A brilliant combination of fun and adventure in the great outdoors!

Run the river with AfriCanyon, navigate through the river shallows, swim through natural tannin coloured fresh-water mountain pools, maneuver down water slides and abseil waterfalls as you dip down into the river gorge.

First timer, novice or seasoned at canyoning we’ve got your back. Under our professional guidance, using the latest spec adventure equipment your qualified guide ensures a kloofing adventure you simply can’t get enough of.

In fact we know you’re likely to want to do it again and again!

So Take the Gap, Feel the Rush.

Customer Reviews

We had another excellent canyoning experience with Africanyon. The scenery down in the gorge is just so beautiful - you have to be there to experience it. Our guides, Warren and Puna, were friendly, attentive and ensured that everybody was safe at all times. We'll definitely be back! - TJAART COETZEE


Amazing adventure made extra special by 2 excellent professional and entertaining guides, Tom and Steph - Petra Browning


?[?]?[?]?[?]?[?]?[?] We had such a great time kloofing! The experience was so much fun, and our two guides were fantastic -- funny, supportive, and always helpful when needed. At times, the trip felt slightly rushed, but other than that, it was an unforgettable adventure. Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a thrilling and enjoyable outdoor activity! - Monique Maron


Hi there! The trip was really fun and the guides were super friendly and helpful. The only thing that I can think of is allowing guests to take a snack and water with. It gets really hot throughout the day and with all the swimming one gets quite thirsty and a little hungry. We really enjoyed the trip and we had a lot of fun we are only a little bit disappointed that we don't have any pictures of the trip! We thought that we'd maybe be allowed to take a phone in a waterproof pouch but we could not. We only later learnt that you have cameras available but it was not working on the morning. You should maybe consider letting one of the guides take a camera and take a few pictures throughout the trip at designated areas as well as a before and after picture. I'm sure people will love that. You can then have it uploaded on a site/send via email or even have it for sale. - Natasha Kovacs


Amazing amazing amazing experience. Will do it again. It was truly one of my best activities done so far in titsikama. The photos and videos should by complimentary and one should not be charged for it - Nadea jooste
