Bloukrans Bridge: Bungy Jump, Zipline & Skywalk Adventure

Summary

Adrenaline rush at bloukrans bridge with zipline jump and wild views

You’ll stand on Africa’s highest bridge for a zipline ride out, then leap into space on the world-famous Bloukrans bungy jump. Feel every second — from the safety briefing to that wild silence mid-air — before getting winched back up and walking off across the Skywalk with your jump certificate in hand. It’s not just an activity; it really does something to you.

What’s the experience like?

I’ll admit, my hands were sweating before we even got to the edge of Bloukrans Bridge. It’s one thing to see photos of the world’s best bungee jump, but standing there — you feel that wind in your face and the river way down below (216 meters is no joke). Our guide, Sizwe, cracked a joke about “gravity being undefeated” which actually helped me laugh instead of freeze up. The harness felt snug but weirdly comforting, like someone double-checking your seatbelt before takeoff.

The walk out on the Skywalk is its own little test — metal grates underfoot, every step echoing in my chest. You can smell the river if the wind shifts right, kind of earthy and sharp. The team was all business with the safety checks but still kept things light; someone played music on a speaker (I think it was local pop) while they clipped us in for the zipline out to the platform. That first whoosh across — honestly, I yelled louder than I meant to.

Then it’s just you and this huge drop. The actual bungee jump is fast and smooth — not rough like I’d imagined. There’s this split second when everything goes quiet except for your own heartbeat (I still think about that silence). They haul you back up with a winch ride; I remember Sizwe grinning down at me as I dangled there, legs shaking but laughing anyway. Walking back along the Skywalk after felt sort of floaty — or maybe that was just adrenaline refusing to leave.
