Abseiling in Emgwenya (Waterval Boven) Emgwenya, formerly known as Waterval Boven, is an internationally acclaimed climbing and adventure destination — and there's no better way to experience its dramatic cliffs than by abseiling right next to the iconic 70-metre Elands Falls. Our abseiling adventure is designed for thrill-seekers of all levels. Whether you're new to the sport or have rappelled before, our experienced guides will ensure you feel confident and secure every step (or slide) of the way. We provide all the gear, a full safety briefing, and expert instruction before you descend one of South Africa’s most awe-inspiring natural backdrops. The descent takes you along solid quartzite cliffs, into the spectacular Elands River Gorge — a place known for its raw beauty, towering rock faces, and sweeping views across the escarpment. It’s not just an adrenaline-pumping drop; it’s a fresh perspective on one of Mpumalanga’s most picturesque valleys. Abseiling is ideal for solo adventurers, couples, and small groups. If you have a basic level of fitness and a head for heights, you’re good to go! Our team is used to working with mixed ability groups and will support you every step of the journey. Looking for more? Pair your abseiling experience with a half-day climbing session or one of our weekend workshops. Stay in climber-friendly budget accommodation, and soak up the village charm of Emgwenya. This is real adventure, done right. Come for the view. Stay for the thrill. Leave with dirty boots and a story worth telling.
