My favourite moment of the jump was the loud, guttural scream I let out without any inhibitions. It felt like the 2-years-of-lockdown worth of frustration rushed out of me and dispersed over the gorge, never to be mine again.
I visited the Graskop Gorge Lift Company with colleagues who were also hosted buyers at the inaugural Mpumalanga Tourism Expo 2021.

Hello Travel Massive Fam! I am Mandisa Magwaxaza. I LOVE Travel and Tourism because it has been my empowerment. It brought me out of my rural upbringing and uncapped my horizons. I want to see it do the same for many many people across Africa's rural and township communities. Words, empathy and influence are my superpowers. I run a PR & Marketing Consultancy that manages B2B and B2C relationships for tourism & hospitality businesses.
Hi Mandisa, thanks for sharing (and great words of wisdom in your video!). The Gorge looks stunning, and I can only imagine what it must feel like to fly through it!
Hello Ian, thank you. It was an overwhelming experience; so many new sensations to comprehend. Fortunately one gets some reprieve to take it all in and process once safely on the forest floor surrounded by the tranquillity of the forest, rocks, streams and birds.
That looks awesome. What country is this in?
Hi Alice, this is in South Africa, in the Mpumalanga Province. The Graskop Gorge Lift Co. also has a lift that takes visitors down to the forest floor.
