Gorge Swing (Zimbabwe)

Victoria Falls

Activity Description

The Wild Horizons Gorge Swing is a thrilling and mind blowing experience. Leap into the wide-open air as you plunge into the mouth of the Batoka gorge, Victoria Falls. Scream as you break free of the fear and trepidation you felt before you threw yourself off the platform. Zero Gravity! It is amazing how the things that make our hearts skip a beat, are the things that make us feel most alive. If you have done the gorge swing, you know this better than anyone. The moment you find yourself on a wooden platform that peers into the chasm of the gorge, is the moment you realize that fear doesn’t shut you down, it wakes you up. The gorge swing is a 70 meter free fall that ends with an almighty swing 120 meters above the powerful Zambezi river. The Gorge Swing will literally take your breath away as you soar through the air, leaving your fears and trepidation on the platform far behind you. A pulley will slowly pull you back to reality, giving you time to wrap your head around the exhilarating experience while you appreciate the immense beauty of the gorge, the river, and the life within it. Though the fall lasts three seconds, the memory of falling through open African air lasts a lifetime.

Customer Reviews

It was very much so an adrenaline rush! - haley


I signed up for the Gorge Swing before travelling and asked my hotel to confirm pick-up and drop-off when I arrived. The transfer was perfect. The prep for the experience was great - the harnesses were safely secured and the equipment was top-notch. The instructions provided were well communicated and the staff instilled confidence. The count-down to jump was quick, I would have preferred a minute to have a few photos taken and allow my wife to locate a good area to video from. They provide you with a hand-held GoPro and they take video of your jump but I didn't feel it was worth their pricing ($50 I believe?). Once I left the platform, I disappeared from my wife's view completely. The jump was amazing! Long free-fall with a comfortable transition into the pendulum swing. You swing back and forth in the gorge for a few minutes, which is also very enjoyable, before they winch you back up. I had decided on this over the bungee jump and have no regrets. It was awesome and I'd do it again. - Doug


The Gorge Swing was fantastic! It was a great adrenaline rush. The staff explained everything before making the jump, and I felt very safe with the harness and all the points I was connected - Glenn


Awesome! This is such a great expirience, that I want to jump again! The team is really friendly and we felt really comfortable, doing such a crazy thing...jumping with a free fall of 70 meters and swinging over the Sambesi. In case you get the chance to book this: DO IT!! :-) - Jil-Sonja


Friendly and welcoming staff, I felt the set up was very safe, and even though I was terrified I knew I was in good hands. - Lance
