Canoeing is also offered on the Kunene and Okavango rivers as an additional activity on the lodges located next to these rivers. On the Kunene River a certain Kunene River Lodge and Epupa Camp specialise in Rafting and Canoeing on the river, the Kunene experience combines the adrenaline of the sport with the stark contrast of river and desert and has plenty of sightseeing, cultural and wildlife surprises.

Rafting on the Orange River otherwise known as the Gariep River on the southern border of Namibia is quite unique as the Orange River is an older slower flowing river than the Kunene and is perfect for families with young ones.
