Moses Mabhida Stadium – the Big Rush
This is akin to doing bungee jumping, except it’s not upside down over a massive bridge.
Celebrate the adventure that is love and romance with a leap of faith.
The Big Swing is your chance to jump over the World Cup football pitch. You will be up in the air at a height of 106m, swing out at an exhilarating 120kph, in a huge arc of 220m.
This is undoubtedly one of the most adrenaline-crazed ways to explore the landmark, as it’s also in the Guinness Book of Records as the world’s tallest swing. Keep in mind that availability is dependent on weather and other scheduled events.

If you want to work up an appetite, challenge your loved one to a rock climbing or abseiling competition — winner paddles the canoe across the dam. You know it will be difficult to leave once you relax and watch all the wildlife passing by, so why not book accommodation for a little Valentine’s getaway?
