Sakkie Se Arkie

Sakkie se Arkie is a floating platform and river cruise operation situated on the banks of the Orange River in Upington, Northern Cape.

Rather than a traditional campground, it serves as a popular tourist attraction where visitors board a vessel for roughly 90-minute sunset cruises along the river.

Guests drift past palm-lined banks on the edge of the Kalahari, with opportunities for birding — including sightings of the African fish eagle — while enjoying the scenery and on-board refreshments.

The setting offers a striking contrast between the arid surrounding landscape and the lush, calm waters of the Orange River. SKIP > Editor's note: The snippets describe Sakkie se Arkie as a sunset river cruise attraction, not a campground.

If this POI is intended to represent a campground at or near this location, the available source material does not confirm that use.
