GET OUTDOORS AND ACTIVE
Adventure sport enthusiasts will find a variety of activities to reconnect with nature. We have great terrain for mountain bikes, with a single track trail through the Private Game Reserve. Trail runners will enjoy the nature and scenery of the trail running track which winds through the Private Game Reserve. Be sure to check in with reception for more details and permission to enjoy the trails. The Kwelera tidal river offers swimmers a 5km swim down river.
CANOEING & SUP
Stand up paddle boarding on the Kwelera River as well as canoeing on the river are both available to enjoy from the adventure village. Hire a SUP (Stand Up Paddle board) or a two man canoe for a morning or afternoon of river fun. They are perfectly suited to the calm river and a fun way to get some exercise. Life jackets are available for hire from the office as well.
OBSTACLE COURSE
Our obstacle course is a great adventure activity from our Adventure village, set up in the Private Game Reserve. You will be putting your balance to the test, as you cross over the dam on balancing beams, X-cross ropes, cargo nets and more. If you lose your balance or footing on any of the crossing points you will fall into the dam water below you, and have to have a short swim to the bank of the dam, and try the crossing again.
MOUNTAIN BIKING
This is an activity that is at your own risk, as it is unguided through the Private Game Reserve. All mountain bike enthusiasts, if you need a change of route, why not pop into Areena Riverside Resort and try our mountain bike trail running through our Private Game Reserve. The scenery will look amazing over the handle bars of your bike. There are some hills to climb, game viewing to enjoy and fun to be had as you reconnect with nature.
