Sure, we've got all that stuff that makes the Bad News.
But we've also got some of the good stuff too... Like the world's fastest zipline.
2km's long, ranging from 100m to 4.5m above the ground, hitting a top speed of just over 100 mph.
Think about it this way - you can finally realise that lifelong dream of yours: To feel like you're about to die right before crashing into the South African bushveld and really dying.
Awesome!

You guys get a boar hunting place that lets you use knives and spears and I'll never have a reason to go to New Zealand.

Roughly 40 dollars, according to todays exchange rate.
Is that a lot for something like this? I wouldn't know what the going rate for 'adventure'ey type experiences?

If that's your thing, and you get to travel down to the Cape as well, do yourself a favour - jump Bloukrans...

i think the feeling of almost dying is only fun if you dont actually die, but i guess theres only one way to find out.
