Go bungee jumping in South Africa for the ultimate adrenaline rush!

South Africa is officially home to the world’s highest bungee jump and offers stunning settings for rushing towards the ground head first from a bridge (if that is your kind of thing).

In South Africa you can go bungee jumping at:
• Bloukrans Bridge: the highest commercial bungee jump in the world at 216 metres (for the seriously adventurous). On the Garden Route outside Tsitsikamma, 40km east of Plettenberg Bay. • Gouritz River Bridge: lower bungee jumps (perfect for first timers) and bridge swinging (similar to bungee jumping). This bungee jumping operation is 35 kilometres outside of Mossel Bay in the Western Cape (4 hours from Cape Town). • Kings Kloof Bridge: 50 metre high jump (bridge swinging and a 320 metre "foofy slide", on weekends). This bungee jumping site is in Krugersdorp, Mogale City in the Gauteng province.

Also in Southern Africa is the Victoria Falls Bridge bungee jumping operation. Jump between Zimbabwe and Zambia - bungee jumping 111 metres towards the Zambezi River.

Go on - take the plunge!
