The Ash is a crystal clear river reminiscent of some scene from Northern America. Also called the little Zambezi, it sports grade 3 to 5 rapids. The water originates from the Khatsi Dam in Lesotho.
We meet in Clarens in the Eastern Free State and start rafting (5 to 7 man rafts) just after the water clears the tunnel. It takes 5 to 6 hours and we get out at a bridge between Clarens and Bethlehem. Light lunch and refreshments are included.
