Chat to usExperience an unforgettable adventure at the famous Graskop Big Swing and Zipline on Mpumalanga’s scenic Panorama Route. From a breathtaking 70-metre freefall to soaring above the gorge, these guided activities offer two very different ways to take in the dramatic waterfall and forest views.
Choose a single Big Swing jump, a scenic double Zipline crossing, or the Big Swing + Zipline Combo for both experiences in one visit.
The Big Swing
One of the world’s highest cable gorge swings, the Big Swing launches you from a platform beside the waterfall into a thrilling 70-metre freefall. In around three seconds, you can reach speeds of up to 140 km/h before the cable takes you into a wide swinging arc across the gorge. Unlike a bungee jump, the experience transitions into a swinging movement after the drop.
After your jump, return to the top using the Viewing Lift when operational, or enjoy a walk through the forest followed by approximately 442 steps back up.
Minimum Age: 12 years. Maximum Weight: 135 kg.
The Zipline
For a gentler but still exciting adventure, take a double zipline ride over Graskop Gorge. Glide approximately 120 metres across the gorge, follow a scenic platform to admire the falls and indigenous forest, then zip back along a second cable. Waterfall views can be particularly impressive during the rainy season.
Minimum Age: 7 years. Maximum Weight: 120 kg.
Big Swing + Zipline Combo
Can’t choose? Book both experiences together. Enjoy the freefall of the Big Swing and the scenic double Zipline in one visit. Participants must meet the requirements for both activities: minimum age 12 years and maximum weight 120 kg.
