Frequently asked questions

How intense is tubing on the Groot Letaba River?
The physical level is rated "Occasionally sporty", meaning you'll hit real current and some turbulence, but it's not a continuous adrenaline hammering. Expect bursts of fast water broken up by calmer stretches over the 3.5h session.
Do I need prior rafting or tubing experience?
No prior experience is required. The "Occasionally sporty" rating means the river will test your balance and reaction time on and off, but the format is built for newcomers as much as regular paddlers.
What is the most intense moment of the session?
The biggest rushes come when the Groot Letaba River narrows and the current accelerates through rocky sections. Your guide will brief you on the key drops before you hit them.
When is the best time to go for maximum water flow?
The season runs May through September. Earlier in the season, water levels on the Groot Letaba tend to be higher after the rains, which means faster current and more intensity.

Equipment

Wear a swimsuit or quick-dry shorts under a rash guard, and bring a change of dry clothes for after the 3.5h session. Secure-strap sandals or old trainers are strongly recommended since the "Occasionally sporty" level means regular foot contact with the riverbed and rocks.
