Once you come, you won't want to leave... TARA RAFT! - The camp and its employees are characterized by a pleasant atmosphere and exceptional hospitality. In the first sense of the word, you feel at home and among your own people. Quality new equipment and internationally certified skippers guarantee that your experience on the river will be unforgettable and, above all, safe. From my personal experience, I can say that this is the only such camp on Tara, a beautiful place that I have been visiting for more than 15 years.
