The Vaal River | Parys | A View from Above
The Vaal River, South Africa's longest river after the Orange, is a key water source for the country.
Its source is at Klipkapstel in Mpumalanga from where it flows to Douglas in the Northern Cape. Here it meets the mighty Orange River, which flows west into the Atlantic Ocean at Alexander Bay.
The Vaal River, meaning 'drab' or 'dull' in Dutch because of its brown-grey colour, is divided into three catchment areas - the Upper Vaal, Middle Vaal and the Lower Vaal.
The Vaal Dam, near Vereeniging, has an 880km shoreline spanning 3 provinces, and is a favourite water sports playground offering canoeing, paddle-boating, power-boating, jet- skiing, and fishing, among other water sports.
The Upper Vaal is the Vaal River’s recreational hub. Centred on the towns of Vereeniging and Vanderbijlpark, expensive real estate and riverfront guesthouses line its banks, and you can enjoy everything from dining to fly fishing and Vaal River cruises.
This stretch of the river is exceptionally popular as a leisure destination, not least because the river is scenic and raftable all year round, except when it floods.
There are several hundred islands along the river, which help to create its white water rapids. The biggest and trickiest section of rapids is between Parys and Christiana, where rapids with names like 'Big Daddy' assure adrenalin-packed white water rafting.
The Middle Vaal, mainly an agricultural region, covers parts of the Free State and North West provinces, and the Lower Vaal comprises the area between the Bloemhof Dam and the confluence of the Vaal and Orange rivers at Douglas in the Northern Cape. (Credit -

EARTH'S LARGEST CRATER - VREDEFORT DOME HIKING | Parys, South Africa
The Vredefort Dome (Crater) is currently the largest and one of the oldest known meteor impact sites in the world. It is South Africa's seventh World Heritage Site and this is largely due to the research scientist from Wits University, including Dr. Rodger Hart. One hundred kilometers south west of Johannesburg, South Africa are the towns of Vredefort and Parys, the latter lying next to the Vaal river.The towns are a short deviation from the N1 highway to Cape Town. In an arc to the north and west of the towns is a partial ring of hills, some 70 kilometers in diameter. The hills are centered on Vredefort. The ring of hills and the area within them is known as the Vredefort Dome.his is the biggest meteorite impact that geologists have yet found on Earth and it is nearly twice as big as the impact that killed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. This makes it a site of great importance for scientists.The Vredefort Dome is a beautiful tourism place situated approximately 100 km from Johannesburg.

The structure was formed 2020 million years ago when an asteroid of 10 kilometers in diameter collided with the earth at a speed of 30 000km/h. The Vredefort Dome is South Africa's 7th World Heritage Site. The Vaal River which flows through the crater is the oldest river in the world though not nearly as old as the crater. The Vaal River is a playground for white water rafters and kayakers. The river rafting trips are offered on the most popular rafting stretch in South Africa.Hiking trails guarantee interesting sights e.g. undamaged Bushman rock paintings and remains of stone villages of indigenous tribes who lived in the Vredefort Dome region during the Iron Age can be seen on these routes.Bird watching the Vredefort Dome-area is truly a birdwatcher's paradise.

A visit to Parys in the Freestate for a two-night stay-over in our van, JAUNTI on her second jaunt out close to home, it is amazing what you can find out about the history of the areas around you in van life, some sad times that had taken place and yet such an amazing little place on the Vaal River, on a pully platform we ended up on an island between the river estuaries, where we told the dreadful story of a heroic man who saved many people and drowned in his attempt.
We had a very quiet vanlife weekend which was so needed, we met Jenny and Herman a lovely couple, who gave us insight as Herman lives in Parys.
