Gorge Swing at Oribi Gorge, South Africa – Bungy Madness

Be a share millionaire! Tell the world!

Gorge Swing – The World’s Highest!

A Gorge Swing is another perfectly good excuse to throw yourself off a perfectly stable rocky platform and into a seemingly endless abyss. And by the way, it is almost enough to stain your pants it’s that scary! There’s nothing like trying to jump off something that your brain says you shouldn’t!

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. Definitely one for the adrenalin junkies out in the world who like to risk their life now and then!

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. Definitely a way to feel alive!

Considering that this was my second Bungee Swing in 3 days, I was surprised that my adrenal glands didn’t burst during this time! Or that I didn’t suffer a sudden heart attack that would have well and truly tested my dodgy travel insurance!

    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.
