Swinging Graskop adventure
Gorge swing
Big swing at Graskop gorge
The Lowveld is full of adventure highs and Graskop’s gorge swing rates up there with the best of them.
Teetering on a tiny platform, with only a cable and a fellow adrenalin-junkie for company (if you go tandem) prepare to freefall 68 m, plummeting 0 - 160km/h in 3 seconds, swinging out like a human pendulum across the gorge – the views are spectacular and so is the after-rush.
Get a double buzz, and zip slide (a zip line is a high speed pulley that uses gravity to accelerate along a steel cable) it too, the locals call it ‘foefie sliding’ and it’s a ‘hang-on-for-dear-life’ ride down a high wire suspended 80 m high, and 130 m across the gorge.
‘Fly’ at breakneck speed, wind screaming in your ears; a high octane burst of elation and an eye-full of the magnificent Graskop Falls are your reward.
