The Big Swing in Graskop

Conquer your fear at an altitude of 1493 meters above sea level where adrenalin levels flow at their peak attached by safety harness to the spur of Mauchsberg. Here the placidly named Mpumalanga town Graskop, meaning grassy peak, will embed memories of adventure over the recollection of its sweeping grasslands.

Connect yourself to safety wires that link you across the Graskop Gorge to give you a spectacular vantage over the Graskop Falls. Freefall at a speed of 180 km per hour on one of the world's highest gorge swings. Do it solo or to it in two's but do it dropping at a whopping 68 meters in less than 3 seconds. Set your shutter speed to 'falling off a cliff' mode, pass it to a witness and be proud when not a single shot can be found with your eyes open and your screaming mouth closed.

Take the high-wire ('foefie slide') option for a gentler horizontal glide 135 meters above the ground or enjoy a 60 meter abseil at your own vertical pace. Drinks with a view are served chilled at the multi-tiered Edge Bar where the 442 step thirst from the return ascent is quenched. Go there, do that, get the t-shirt that says 'Big Swing'.
