Extreme Adventures

Break your boundaries!

Wild 5, based on site at the Oribi Gorge Hotel, offers a range of adrenalin-inducing activities that guarantee to get your blood pumping!

 

The Wild Swing

The Wild Gorge swing is an awesome experience that leaves you breathless yet exhilarated. Situated at the top of Lehr’s Falls, it is the highest swing in the world. Hurl yourself (or simply step) off the edge of the waterfall to swing into the gaping depths of the gorge – 165m (55 Storeys) Unbelievable! A full body harness is used to allow for a comfortable ride.

 

The Wild Slide (Zip-line)

Experience solitary bliss! Slide along the cable that spans across the gorge, 165m above the treetops. Strapped securely in a full body harness, you can lavish the view without compromising your comfort… Enjoy a bird’s eye views of Lehr’s Waterfall and Baboon’s Castle!

 

Abseiling

Abseil down a 110m Cliff face, alongside Lehr’s waterfall, and experience a new dimension in sightseeing! Determine your own pace, and lavish the thrill of one of the world’s highest commercial abseils. The first 45m is a cliff abseil where one traditionally abseils with their feet against the cliff while the remaining 65m is a free abseil allowing one to take in the beauty of the gorge from a different angle. Beginners are welcome to abseil and will be given full instruction on the techniques and only when they have satisfied certain requirements will they be lowered over the edge of the 170m waterfall. Qualified trainers are on hand to show one the ropes, so to speak.

 

White Water Rafting

Awaken the adventurer in you, and brave the elements in a full trip down the Umzimkhulu River. Meet the River Guides at Oribi Gorge Hotel at 08h00. Following a safety briefing you will be driven down a 4×4 trail to the “drop off point” on the Umzimkhulu River (20mins). The duration of the expedition varies according the river conditions and skill of the paddlers. After braving the rapids (grades 2 to 4, depending on the river conditions) you will be collected and returned to the Hotel. The rate includes refreshments (juice/water & chocolate) on the river. Lunch can be ordered from the sumptuous a la Carte menu, back at the Hotel. Braai and Buffet menus are available for groups – this can be arranged with the Hotel.

Qualified guides (APA) are on hand through the spills and thrills to ensure a safe and enjoyable trip. Rafting operates all year round and booking is essential. A minimum of four people required.
