South Coast KwaZulu-Natal - Gorge Swing

Leap into the Wild – Gorge Swing on KwaZulu-Natal’s South Coast

For the ultimate adrenaline rush, nothing compares to the gorge swing experience on KwaZulu-Natal’s South Coast. Set in the dramatic landscape of Oribi Gorge, this is one of the world’s highest gorge swings — and it’s not for the faint-hearted. With a 165-metre arc and a 100-metre free fall, this leap into the abyss offers heart-pounding excitement and unforgettable views.

Perched on the edge of a sheer cliff above the Umzimkulwana River, participants are strapped into a secure full-body harness before taking the plunge. As you jump, gravity takes over, and you drop into the vast gorge below, swinging in a massive arc between towering rock faces and above lush forest canopies. The moment is intense, but the exhilaration and sense of achievement that follow are unmatched.

This experience is professionally operated with the highest safety standards. Full briefings, top-quality gear, and experienced guides ensure every jumper feels confident before stepping off the edge. Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie ticking off a bucket-list item or a brave first-timer looking to challenge yourself, the gorge swing delivers the thrill of a lifetime.

Easily accessible from nearby towns like Port Shepstone and Margate, this adventure is part of a broader offering that includes hiking trails, zip lines, and scenic picnic spots. The gorge swing is a signature South Coast adventure — raw, wild, and unforgettable.
