3 Day Thrill

Candle Light Caving

Our 2-3 hour Caving excursion is suitable for everyone. You can walk upright through all of the caves with one main channel leading to two large halls next to each other. From here we’ll totally disorientate you and occasionally even ourselves as we criss-cross these halls through a network of smaller, circling tunnels and chambers all returning to the great Lounge hall. The Caving is done in the usual hard-hat and overalls with the adventurous twist of candle light. The cherry-on-top at the end of this adventure is a visit to the magnificent 69m Lone Creek Waterfall where the still brave can take a swim in the ice-cold pool and get rid of some excessive mud.

Stage highlights:
Keyhole like pasages.

Stage duration:2-3 Hours

Bridge Swing

This is probably the most comfortable swing you’ll ever do. NO Age restrictions NO Weight limits - Only Size Counts!! If you’re not too SMALL or too BIG for the harness, you can jump. Records: Youngest – 4 years / Oldest – 73 years. The “Free Fall Free” swing off the 30 meter Sabie Bridge where the roaring Sabie Waterfall drops into the first gorge of this breathtaking valley, is one you can’t miss. With the super-tight, non-elastic mountaineering ropes, this is the smoothest swing in an upright position. You literally swing 27 of the 30 meters and NOT having experienced the usual terrifying free fall or tightening shocks and jerks, the added bonus of a beautiful view made up of jungle, rapids, river, cliffs and a 25 meter waterfall flashing by at approximately 120km/h is…..

Stage highlights:
Stepping off!

Stage duration:1 Day

Cliff Jumping

“Kloofing” is the Afrikaans word for Gorge, but although the English translation for the activity is “Canyoning”, it all spells the same experience: Whether it’s just exploring or commercial, when you find yourself stunned by natural beauty and challenged by breathtaking obstacles and your taking on every challenge Face-to-Face by venturing through Untamed Paradise. Requirements A mild Kloofing trip suitable for young and old in relatively fit condition. This adventure hike takes you through two of the Drakensberg Escarpment’s most spectacular gorges, ending in the bottom of the largest tourist waterfall in Mpumalanga – Mac Mac Falls.

Stage highlights:
Abseiling down waterfalls, Climbing through crashing rapids, Jumping into crystal clear pools, Bum sliding down steep rock faces Or hiking your way through ancient indigenous jungles
