Wild Five Adventures – Abseiling at Oribi Gorge

Welcome to Wild Five Adventures, the ultimate adventure hub on KwaZulu-Natal’s South Coast, where the mighty Oribi Gorge becomes your natural playground. Among their five signature adventures, abseiling stands out as both thrilling and surprisingly accessible—though it still takes plenty of courage to lean back over the edge of this spectacular gorge.

Guided by Wild Five’s expert instructors, you’ll descend alongside Lehr’s Falls, a breathtaking 170-metre waterfall. The first 45 metres keep you close to the sandstone cliff, but soon the rock face drops away and you’ll be suspended in mid-air, free-hanging with nothing but the gorge’s beauty surrounding you. Look down on emerald-green forests, feel the spray from the cascade, and gaze up at towering cliff walls as you control the pace of your own descent.

Whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or a first-timer seeking an unforgettable challenge, Wild Five’s professional team ensures your safety every step of the way. They’ll coach you through the ropes, literally, so you can focus on the rush of the experience and the breathtaking scenery.

Wild Five Adventures isn’t just about abseiling—they offer a full range of award-winning activities, from suspension bridge walks to white-knuckle swings, making Oribi Gorge the perfect spot for a day—or even a weekend—of outdoor thrills.
