Bungee Jumping is one of the most adventurous activities of the world. It is not for the faint-hearted or the acrophobic. It entails a headlong jump from daring heights with a rope tied to the angle. The tradition of Bungee jumping started as a ritual among the native tribes for boys attaining manhood.
South Africa has some of the most challenging Bungee Jumping bridges in the world. The Bloukrans Bungee Jump, which is placed along Garden Route, allows you to jump from a height of 216 m. In order to tackle the extreme heights of the fall, the ankle harness is replaced with a full-bodied harness. For beginners and the ones who cannot withstand thrills of bigger jumps like the Bloukrans Bridge, there is the Gouritz Bridge with a height of 65m. Bridge swings are also available which provide the same excitement at lower levels.
