Fantastic river run down the Tugela with Itchyfeet SA. Cant recommend this trip and company enough to anyone who loves adventure. We did the Bergville to Spioenkop Dam section. Great section of the river, beautiful views with a mix of action and some chilled paddling.the trip exceeded our expectations with the grade 3+ rapids getting our blood pumping. Our guides Gustav and Godfrey were great, super friendly and very experienced, always ready to help out. Can’t wait to do another trio with these guys.
