BEAUTIFUL TIME OF YEAR
The Vaal River valley dressed in green
April and May are the months that show off our place at Otters' Haunt Eco Retreat at her glorious best. The sun shines, summer rains have left the river full and the garden flourishing. It's warm and peaceful.
During the next few weeks we are running lots of activities. Our adventure training is busy including a wilderness first aid and Casevac course, and a river rafting course. We're also doing public rafting trips, hikes and Vredefort Dome talks and tours.
It's quite a package and tiring but we love it. Karen Addison manages the accommodation and the hiking while I handle most other activities. Many visitors also come to canoe with family on the placid waters among the islands around our place.
It's really a paradise all on its own, tucked away among big trees and spreading lawns. The big drawcard is the mighty impact crater that surrounds us and is known to the Tswana people as NtsoanaTsatsi - the place of sun.
Come and see for yourself during this holiday period. Call Karen +27 82 475 8767 or Graeme at +27 84 245 2490. https://otters.co.za
