High Wire Activities - Zimbabwe

|
Gorge Swing! |
|
|
 |
Imagine swinging in a child's swing in
the playground...now imagine a giant swing 95m long and 120m high above
water...now imagine a 70m free fall before you begin swinging.
Our highwire is suspended across the gorge at a point where the width is
316m and 120m deep. A harness is attached to the jumper and then
the jumping ropes, the other end of which is pivoted to the middle of
the cable. The jumper leaps off the edge of the gorge, free falling
about 70m before going into a 95m long pendulum type swing.

The Zip Line (Foofie Slide)! |
|
|
|
Imagine the adrenalin rush traveling a
speed of 106 km’s hurtling 425m across the gorge, while suspended 120m
above the breath taking beauty of the Zambezi water below!
As the river zigzags down the Batoka Gorges, our cable is suspended
across from one side to the other. For this product you are harnessed
and attached to a pulley, then launched over the edge picking up speed
as you descend over the water and reaching a speed of 106 km an hour.
This is the longest Zip Line (Foofie Slide) ride in the world. |
|
Abseil & Rapp-jump! |
|
|
 |
Imagine abseiling 120m down a brilliant
sheer cliff, doing 360-degree twists, descending backwards or rap
jumping forwards and walking down the gorge as if to defy gravity
itself!
Suspended against the rock you can jump out and swing yourself from side
to side or round in twists in as timid or confident a manor as you feel!
With this product you can try both abseiling and rap jumping. Abseiling
is descending backwards down the gorge and lowering yourself all the way
to the bottom. Rapp Jumping, here the harness is connected
backwards enabling you to run or walk down the cliff facing down into
the gorge! |
|
The Flying Fox! |
|
|
 |
Imagine taking a running jump into thin
air over the chasm, soaring horizontally through the air over the
turmoil of the Zambezi below. The gorge at this point is 200 meters wide
and 120 meters deep. This is a great appetizer before you try the Zip
Line and Gorge Swing.
