Come and feel the Force of Nature with your kids – and don’t be put off by the fact that it’s winter; you’ll be surprised at how much fun roughing it can be. Arrive on the evening of June 15 and settle in to your camp on the banks of the Palmiet. Enjoy a meal around the campfire and hit the sleeping bag for a cosy night’s sleep. The next day will be spent trying your hand at abseiling and/or tackling the rapids of the Palmiet (rafting for over 12’s only). The Palmiet is situated nearby the town of Kleinmond, just over an hour’s drive from Cape Town, along the scenic Clarence Drive.
