The Gariep Dam is a staggering 100km long and 24km wide. Take a guided tour through the passages inside the wall of South Africa’s largest dam, or sample the many water sport activities on offer: fishing, windsurfing, sailing, jet skiing, canoeing, rowing…and even game-viewing by boat! The well-stocked 11,237-hectare Gariep Dam Nature Reserve is on the dam’s northern shore. On the southern side of the Gariep Dam is the Oviston Nature Reserve which is home to an exciting variety of wildlife and birds.
