Rocksliding

Manziwayo Exteme Rocksliding.

We no longer do this excursion as we do not at present have qualified guides.If someone wants to start a business this is it.We can assist you in getting started.

This is one of the worlds most extreme natural adventures.

The Slide

We drive through beautiful rural Zulu country from subtropical Eshowe to the bushveld of the Tugela basin.We arrive at at Mfongosi where Fred Markham panned good colour gold way back in 1886. In a short space of time there were four Hotels, numerous stores and a race track to accommodate and entertain all the 700 prospectors.From here we walk walk for 1 1/2 hours to a one kilometre stretch of river with the myriad rock pools and most beautiful scenery one can imagine.

Mark & Temba

We spend three or so hours jumping and sliding with experienced guides. These are some of the most exhilarating sheer jumps into water you will ever do.There is no limit to how many jumps you can do.

Rockslide Suicide Slide

From small slides and jumps to 25 - 30 metre waterfall slides and sheer drops into clear mountain pools.A picnic lunch on the rocks with the background sound of the rushing Mfongosi water and scenic setting make this a trip to remember. This is a full day out in Zulu country and a full three hours doing slides and sheer jumps all from a few metres to 22 metres high.

Guide Slide

Comment :- "It was scarier than the Victoria Falls bungee jump."

Can you be as brave as the early Zulus who jumped off as their initiation into manhood?
