3. Gorge swinging in Zambia

Where: Above the Batoka Gorge, Zambia

What: Okay, so they call it the “Death Drop”, but we didn’t want to put you off. This terrifyingly brilliant gorge swing, as seen on The Amazing Race, actively encourages daredevils to step off a 53-metre-high cliff and freefall at speeds of up to 180 kilometres an hour. Gulp. If that wasn’t enough, once in Zambia you can also take a walking safari in South Luangwa, canoe with crocs and hippos in the Lower Zambezi National Park and raft from the awesome Victoria Falls. The white waters here are rated class five (“extremely difficult”), with appropriately light and fluffy names for the rapids, like Oblivion, Overland Truck Crash and Stairway to Heaven.
