From its source up in the mountains above Ceres, the Breede River meanders for 300 km’s before it deposits its water into the mighty Indian Ocean. During its long journey to the coast, it provides life-giving water to one of South Africa’s largest Wine regions – the Breede Valley. The winding channels and playful rapids make it the ideal river-rafting destination. This river also boasts amazing bird life and ample fishing.
Our river lodge is situated just outside Worcester, only 90min from Cape Town (N1).
