Gorge Swing

The gorge swing experience begins at the same Victoria Falls Bridge platform used for bungee jumping. After check-in and weight recording, you'll be fitted with a full-body harness with attachment points at your back and chest. Unlike bungee, which uses ankle attachments, the gorge swing keeps you in a seated position throughout. You can choose to swing solo or tandem with a friend or partner, making it perfect for couples or those who want moral support.

You'll walk to the platform edge and be clipped into the swing cables. The anticipation builds as you shuffle to the very edge. When you're ready (no countdown, you control when you go), you simply lean forward or step off. The sensation is incredible: a 70-meter freefall lasting about 3 seconds as you plummet straight down toward the Zambezi River. Unlike bungee's vertical bounce, the gorge swing quickly transitions from freefall into a massive pendulum arc across the gorge.

You'll swing back and forth across the spectacular Batoka Gorge in huge arcs, reaching speeds of up to 160km/h. The swinging motion lasts several minutes, giving you time to enjoy the views, scream your lungs out, or simply soak in the adrenaline. The gorge walls blur past on either side, the river sparkles below, and Victoria Falls roars in the distance. As the swing gradually slows, staff lower you to a small platform where you're unclipped. Many people describe the gorge swing as even more thrilling than bungee because the extended swinging provides longer-lasting excitement than bungee's brief bounces.
