South Africa travel may include peaceful seaside experiences, educational historic sites or the excitement of watching the native wildlife. But if its true heart-pumping adventure with an extra shot of adrenaline and sense of accomplishment you really desire abseil, rappel, some of South Africa's highest and most spectacular mountains.

Stand on the edge of Table Mountain leaning backwards with the feeling that your back is brushing against the clouds. Among the world's highest commercial abseils, take that first heart pounding jump as you head down the mountain one jump at a time surrounded by panoramic views of Cape Town. The Atlantic Ocean's deep blue waters wait at the bottom of this controlled rappel. Once your feet touch ground you will know you have had an once-in-a-lifetime experience.

If the thought of rappelling off Table Mountain seems a little daunting try Kamikaze Kanyon instead. Also close to Cape Town, the adrenaline rush is just as intense as you rappel down Thunder Falls. During the hike up the river gorge you'll encounter a number of rock pools and you can try your hand at Kloofing, jumping into ...
... the pools from various heights. Once you reach the top you'll be ready to jump into vertical space with the roar of the falls in your ears.

Oribi Gorge is another experience for those seeking the thrills of South Africa travel. The 300 million-year-old sandstone cliff welcome all looking for the adrenaline rush of all time. Feel yourself as you're lowered over the gorge's edge and come face to face with the dramatic Lehrs Falls. The first portion of the abseil is against the mountain side while the remaining portion is a heart stopping free fall. If that isn't enough try your hand at the Wild Swing. Test your courage with the rush of jumping off the top of the waterfall only to swing to ground below.To know more about this Click here
