And just a little note for the Facebook “engineers” asking:
“Why do you build under the floodline?”
Well… should you feel inspired to build your own campsite along the Vaal, you’d need to place it about 2km from the river’s edge to meet floodline safety recommendations. That puts you just past the informal settlement, closer to the dust and diesel than the birds and breeze.
You could then enjoy the full Gauteng camping experience: traffic, noise, and a morning hike with a fishing rod just to get near the water. 
Here at Riverbend, we chose the front row seat—with its risks, rewards, and unfiltered river magic.
Because any place worth loving is worth braving a flood for.
