Gorge Swing: Maqbul Mohammed and Susan Wong leap off a cliff in Zambia
- 5 years ago
The Gorge Swing located in Livingstone, Zambia above the Zambezi River close to Victoria Falls, is the world’s first commercial High Wire. A cable is spanned across the gorge 135m long and 75m above the ground. A full body harness is attached securely from your back to the cable and you take a running dive off the edge of the cliff and soar across the deep gorge like a bird in flight.
These activities are operated on a spectacular site above rapid number 7. You will freefall for about 50 metres before swinging out into the middle of the gorge. After several pendulum swings you will then be lowered to the ground where you can take a track back up to the top of the gorge.
54M (160ft) of pure Free Fall…….Reaching speeds of up to 180 Km/h
