About
20km (16+4) section. Starts on the Kubusi River, which joins the Great Kei ~4km in. If the Kubusi is too low, a separate dirt road on the same farm gives direct access to the Great Kei. Small access fee at the farmhouse (The Claims). Wide, open river with good surf waves. Rain-dependent but sits below most major tributaries, so runs more often than upstream sections. Put-in needs a 4×4. Take out at the first railway bridge before the N2 - leave a vehicle at the Ultra City on the N2 and shuttle to the railway bridge. DO NOT continue past the first railway bridge - a dangerous weir lies just below.
