Do The Duzi!

Are you an adventurer? Looking to test your stamina? 

You have met your match and this is the ultimate challenge...    

 

"Mix your metaphors on the mighty Umsumdusi- a raging river, a famous race, a kayak, a paddle, a beer or two and you in the wilderness. You'll drift, paddle and shoot rapids to where the cold brown waters of the Umsundusi swirl and mix with the blood-warm but ice-blue waters of the Umgeni." - 
David Bristow of Getaway Magazine

 

Do you dare to endure this 3 day kayaking torture? The Duzi takes part between two of Natal's most famous rivers. The Umsundusi in Pietermaritzburg to the Umgeni in Durban, over 80 km distance apart. Paddle-drive the second part of day one and day two of the race, all the way to Inanda Dam where you spend a night in a small well-tended camp site. 

Or if you prefer to sit this one out bee at the Umgeni on day 3 to welcome our heroes! Either way this an exhilarating and truly unique experience!
