Flying

Twice as much fun! You will get your opportunity to take part in all of our rope based activities. Abseil, rap jumping, flying fox, cable slide and of course the gorge swing. You will have plenty of time to practise each activity and of course have as many runs on your activities of choice as you decide. Our instructors are the best in their field and well versed in safety procedures as well as the history and geology of the surrounding area.Your day will conclude watching a magical african sunset and enjoying a few sundowner drinks with your crew and fellow jumpers!

In order to give you increased flexibility for your holiday please call our US office for advice on who to book your flights with (or why not use those frequent flier miles?); or contact our UK office who can arrange and book flights for you. We have price and departure information about the following destinations (river prices only - flights not included).

We find most of our clients have in their posession already what is needed for a river journey. We have broken down here the items into what you'll need on the river and in camp. An equipment list of what you will require for your adventure will be sent to you prior to your departure.
