Bungee jumping is not like diving off a dive platform into a swimming pool. Bungee jumping is a profound and life-changing event for many people who try it for the first time. There is absolutely nothing that can compare to standing on the edge of a platform and taking a leap of faith into the seemingly unending open space below you. While you are aware that you are attached to those bungee cords, it is still very much a leap of faith that all will go well and you get to experience an overwhelming wave of emotion and adrenaline. This is what is so addictive for many people, while your first time is the most powerful, the adrenalin rush and the wave of emotion that goes with it is an experience and a half every time.
Where there is a will there is a way and people have found the most amazing place to bungee jump from, including the historic Orlando Towers in Soweto which was the first cooling tower jump in the world. Perhaps you want to get some great tourism in at the same time. Well, then the Victoria Falls Bridge bungee adventures are surely the thing to tickle your fancy. Jump, swing and slide your way to new adrenalin highs in view of one of the 7 natural wonders of the world.
Southern Africa has cottoned onto the popularity of bungee jumping and the thrill that it gives those who take the plunge, that death defying leap of faith. There are many other bungee locations on offer such as the Gouritz River Bridge jump in Mossel Bay, the Bloukrans River Bridge jump along the Garden Route and the Krugersdorp jump in Johannesburg. All of these jumps offer you a fantastic adrenalin jump, great views of the surrounding areas and an unforgettable experience.
Fear of heights? Not a problem. Most people do when it comes to such vast heights. The challenge is to tame your fears, become their master and to ride the adrenaline to the end. Without fear there would be no adrenalin rush and there would be no point to bungee jumping at all but the trick is to rule your fear and not to let it rule you.
