Visiting The Vaal River

Take the helm of a houseboat and navigate the Vaal River. Cruise the 55km of South Africa’s most dynamic permanently navigable inland waterway.

Explore the vibrant shorefront attractions, docking at restaurants, bars, spas, golf courses, and a casino resort. Try your hand at watersports.

Enjoy house-spotting on Millionaires’ Bend. Test your skill with a fishing rod. Haul out the twitching kit.

Experience the tranquillity of unspoilt wetlands, misty sunrises and balmy evenings. Moor in a secluded spot, light up the on-board braai and watch the sun set. Then retire to bed on the boat under the starry sky with the lapping waves and croaking frogs as company. It makes for a very, very memorable experience.

A houseboat charter on the Vaal River with Old Willow No7 Houseboat Charters is a unique experience. It’s the perfect romantic getaway for a couple, tremendous for a family holiday, idyllic for honeymooners, outstanding for fishermen and birders, great for groups and fantastic for friends.
