Bloukrans Bungee

Lately, I have been seeking out the many thrills that South Africa has to offer! Most recently, I wentngee jumping off the world’s highest commercial bungee jump situated atop the Bloukrans River Bridge that has even made the Guinness Book of World Records. Jumping from it was quite an amazing feat- if I do say so myself!
The bridge is located about 4 hours away from campus, but I went with a group of eager and willing individuals who, like me, were determined to put ourselves to the test. I don’t think that jumping 216 meters into a river really hit me until I was actually falling! Until you feel the resistance of the bungee cord, all you really feel is sheer terror! While dangling from the bridge, I noticed the peaceful scenery I was surrounded by-the Indian ocean to the South, and valley and dense forest to the North. Once I stopped bouncing, I actually found hanging above the river to be very tranquil. It was an amazing experience that can only be likened to a dream and is definitely something that I urge everyone to do.
