Paddling near Bhisho, Eastern Cape

Bhisho sits in the Eastern Cape, close to East London and a network of coastal rivers that define paddling in this part of South Africa. The Buffalo and Nahoon rivers are the closest significant waterways, while the Kwelera and Gxulu are well-regarded for calm canoe and kayak trips. Eastern Cape rivers in this region are generally quieter than the whitewater runs further inland, making them well suited to recreational paddling at most skill levels.
