REAL ADVENTURE - PARYS

Parys, one of our key destinations, turned out to be so much more than what we bargained for. Jacques took us in immediately, and introduced us to the area and some amazingly knowledgeable people. You have to meet Jacques, to understand, that everyone that surrounds him has some kind of magic, as he himself, is magic!

At first it was Jan who is manager at The Dell where we stayed for two days. Jan is a delightful soul, as good as they get. Then there is Skit, one of the guides working with Jacques at Real Adventures, who picked us up the next morning, for a day of whitewater rafting on the Vaal River. He had a group of 8 whom we joined for the day, mostly students from Stellenbosch, and then an extra person, Lucas, also a guide with Real Adventures.
