Definately a must see. From the Lisbon-, MacMac or Berlin Falls to God's Window, the Pinnacles, Bourke's Luck Potholes, Pilgrims Rest and, of course, the amazing Blyde River Canyon with the Three Rondavels. Spend at least 2 nights in this area. There is lots to see

Big Swing and Zipline @ Graskop Gorge Lift Centre The Big Swing has been incorporated into Graskop Gorge Adventure Hub, which is also home to the innovative Graskop viewing lift. Big Swing The Big Swing offers and adrenaline rush like no other! The experience is very different to a bungee-jump, because you are strapped in an upright position, in a full safety harness. Being upright enables you to enjoy the Graskop Gorge’s magnificent views… If you can keep your eyes open as you freefall 70 metres, at 140km/h, in under three seconds. If you need to hold someone’s hand when you jump, you can choose the tandem option. Once your heart has stopped racing after the jump, you can immerse yourself further in the gorge’s spectacular scenery, waterfall and forest, as you climb over 400 stairs back to the top. Zipline Those who still want to get their heart racing, but think that the Big Swing is too extreme, can fly across the gorge on a 130-metre high-wire zipline.

The Graskop Gorge Lift Company is your passage into the heart of one of Mpumalanga’s last forested wonderlands. Surrounded by towering cliffs cut back over time by the Motitsi river where its waters plummet 70m into the gorge below forming a natural barrier to all, except for the most adventurous. Your journey begins as you drop off the grassy cliff top plateau, in a custom designed 26 passenger viewing elevator, down along the cliff face descending into the cool mountain forest below. An extensive network of elevated walkways, suspension bridges and interactive exhibits will lead you along the forest trail, across the stream, keeping one engaged in this natural and pristine environment.
