The lower Orange seems to be very stable for most of the year partially due to the large dams upstream regulating the flow kind of. I would not aim for Dec / Jan / Feb usually, due to heat and possibility of floods. But with the drought and generally low dam levels, I am not anticipating any serious white water. As long as the river is flowing below say 40 cumecs in that section, it's great. Ideal I'd say is probably 20-30 being better for getting over the shallow bits with a kayak.
