Bloukrans Bungy — a bucket list adventure on Africa’s highest bridge

The Bloukrans Bridge in Tsitsikamma is the highest in Africa. There 216m above the Bloukrans River thousands of thrill seekers have redefined fear with Bloukrans Bungy. Since opening in 1997, their bungy experience is a firm bucket list adventure. And while this bungy thrill is a staple, they have since branched out, offering Skywalk, ziplining and Hangout activities. With their hold on 6 Guinness World Records, Bloukrans Bungy is the prime location for adventurers who want to live on the edge.

Bungy jump Africa’s highest bridge with Bloukrans Bungy

When looking for a thrilling adventure, there is nothing more appropriate than bungy jumping from Africa’s highest bridge. At Bloukrans Bungy this experience situated 216m above the ground with stunning views starts by ensuring all adventurers feel safe. Guides will aid visitors into a cutting-edge, full-body harness. This harness is used as a back-up to the main connection that goes around the ankles. After the harnessing the visitors will be walking out to the bridge via the 216m long skywalk.

The experience lasts one hour, and it is recommended that guests arrive at least one hour before their scheduled experience. Additionally, travellers must be at least 14 years old with proof of age available upon request.

For those who don’t feel like bungy jumping is their thing, the new Skywalk allows for all the adrenaline without the jump. As Africa’s only Skywalk, it is family-friendly, and while the experience begins with setting up in the harness, there is no zipline; instead, guides take travellers on a walk along the edge of the bridge 216m above the ground sharing the history of the bridge. This experience lasts one hour, and travellers must be at least 6 years old. Children will walk tandem with a guardian.

Zipline and hangout

At Bloukrans Bungy, alongside their bungy jumping and Skywalk experience, they offer a Hangout spot. 216m above the ground and overlooking the Bloukrans River Gorge, it’s the perfect spot to relax. Getting to the Hangout spot is also part of the adventure because to access the Hangout spot, travellers are taken across a zipline that spans 200 meters.

The Zipline and Hangout experience starts like all others with travellers suiting up in the full-body harness. The experience still lasts an hour, and travellers are required to be a minimum of 8 years old. Once harnessed, the zipline will take travellers to the centre of the bridge to hang out.

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation? Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose.

Expensive is not always better. Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday. They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice. A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday.

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance. Of these, service is the most important.

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion. However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review. We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience? The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table.

Well that’s our theory anyway. It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced. However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience. In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe. It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
