Spectacular scenery, exciting river adventure, incredibly unique accommodation, and special interaction with rural Swazis – this is what a 1-day tubing adventure along the Ngwempisi has in store.
The beautiful Ngwempisi River and the gorge are explored for around three hours from the comfort of a river tube. This is followed by a walk up to the Kingdom’s famous Rock Lodge (featured) where lodge guides await with ice-cold drinks. The lodge itself is an attraction in its own right: a rustic tree house-type structure built into clusters of giant boulders high up on a ridge that overlooks a magnificent gorge. An apt den for feasting and reminiscing about the day around a roaring fire.
