Discovering the Farm
Tucked away between the town of Parys and Vredefort, right on the banks of the Vaal River, is the enchanting Vosrite Fishing Adventures.
With an expansive 700 meters of well-maintained fishable waterfront, this private farm stands out from the typical holiday resorts around the Vaal River. The minimal human interference in the region allows visitors to immerse themselves in pristine nature, making it an ideal spot for soulful retreats and genuine wilderness experiences.
Where to Stay
While the setting is rustic, accommodation is far from basic. The farm boasts 5 private camping sites, ensuring a peaceful experience without the inconvenience of tangled fishing lines or shared spaces.

The Joy of Fishing
Fishing aficionados will find Vosrite a paradise. The diverse waters here are perfect for everything - from fly-fishing and specimen fishing to the traditional "papgooi" or conventional fishing. The deeper, slow-moving sections of the river beckon those keen on angling for bigger catches.
True to their commitment to sustainability, Vosrite Fishing Adventures advocates a Catch and Release approach. So, while you can capture the perfect photo to boast about your catch, ensure you give the fish another shot at life. A gentle reminder: handle fish with care, avoid laying them on dirty banks, and note that keep nets are strictly forbidden.
Fish species you will catch here – Carp, Barbel, Mudfish and Yellow Fish
Bushwack Adventures
Though traditional caravans aren't accommodated, off-road trailers and bush caravans are heartily welcomed. However, if you plan on visiting during the rainy season, navigate with caution. The proximity of the campsites to the river means some pathways can become tricky for non-4x4 vehicles.
Guidelines for a Pleasant Stay:
Vosrite upholds certain rules to maintain its serene ambiance. Here's a quick rundown:
Respect the peace: Keep noise levels down, including loud music.
Safety first: Firearms, fireworks, and ground fires are a no-go. Use the provided braai stands for your fires.
Nature's treasures: Refrain from cutting trees or picking wood from the field. Should you need firewood, it's available for purchase at the farm.
Use resources wisely: Conserve water and handle camping equipment with care.
