Sakkie se Arkie
If you need a break from the Northern Cape heat and aridity, a sedate sunset cruise on the Orange River could be just the thing. Sakkie se Arkie (literally "Sakkie's Little Ark") is a small family operation offering a 90-minute trip on a double-decker raft complete with a cash bar. You might see catfish, monkeys, eagles, and other birds. But the main ingredients for the fun are the lively crowd, the gentle sensation of the cruise, and the wonderful cocktails made by Sakkie's wife. It generally only operates on weekends, but it might head out during the week if there are enough people interested.
