The experience
Stand on a platform at the edge of the Batoka Gorge and step off into a free fall of about 70 metres before the rope catches and swings you across the gorge in a huge arc, high above the Zambezi. It lasts only seconds, and the memory lasts a lot longer. The crew attach and check every connection, and you decide how to leave the platform.
