Harnessed face-down with arms and legs outstretched, glide across the Batoka Gorge in the “superman” position — the same cable crossing as the zip line, but with nothing between you and the drop except the harness on your back.
Overview
The Flying Fox is the Batoka Gorge’s face-down cable crossing — instead of sitting upright in a seat harness like the zip line, you’re strapped in horizontally, arms and legs stretched out, and glide across the gorge in a genuine flying position. It’s a short, sharp thrill on the same stretch of gorge as the site’s other cable activities.
Being fully exposed to the drop below makes the flying fox feel more intense to many guests than the seated zip line, even though the cable, height and speed are similar — it’s a matter of position, not distance.
What To Expect
Arrive at the gorge activity site and get fitted into a face-down harness, then receive a safety briefing on the flying fox position.
Launch face-down, arms and legs outstretched, and glide across the gorge in the “superman” position — a different sensation from the seated zip line.
Land at the far platform, unclip, and continue to your next activity or head back to town.
