Gorge Swing – The World’s Highest!
Gorge Swinging is another perfectly good excuse to throw yourself off a perfectly stable rocky platform and into a seemingly endless abyss.
Gorge Swinging is a bit different to the Bungee Swing at Moses Mabhida Stadium – this one is located in the Oribi Gorge, in the KwaZulu-Natal Province.
Basically, it’s a rudimentary construction involving a Bungee Cord attached to a cable running across the Gorge.
The Oribi Gorge Swing involves a spectacular 70 metre freefall into an abyss after running off a nice stable rock ledge.
Here’s an action pic of yours truly in midair.
This Gorge Swing is a different experience to the Mabhida bungee swing, as a rocky ground rushes towards your face instead of a lush green football field.
Considering that this was my second Bungee Swing in 3 days, I was surprised that my adrenal glands didn’t burst during this time.
Gorge Swing – Funny Travel Video
Anyway, here is some video footage of me totally crapping myself attempting to complete this Gorge Swing. Try not to laugh at me screaming my guts out. That’s because you will hear others in the background giggling as well.
Enjoy: The World’s Highest Gorge Swing!
Feel like a Gorge Swing?
So if you’re feeling like an adrenalin rush, go to South Africa and try the Oribi Gorge Swing out!
You’ll probably crap your pants doing it!
Insane!

This looks insane. Insanely fun. The best part of the video is the replay when the local is narrating, he sounds thrilled.

This looks damn exciting, would like to give it a try. Kinda like the slingshot at Ratanga…more extreme of course. Way to go my man.

Sizzling experience, I’ve ‘jumped’ twice at Oribi Gorge…though on both occasions I was aided ‘pushed’ as it’s frightening looking down…but once in motion, it’s such a pleasure.

Totally agree! The seconds leading up to the jump have a very high ‘Crap Your Pants’ factor!
