Travel Fix
BY KELLY FRASER
IF YOU WANT TO ROLL WITH
THE BIG BOYS, YOU’VE GOT
TO TAKE A LITTLE ADVENTURE
IN YOUR STRIDE. JUMP OUT
OF AN AEROPLANE, HIKE
THROUGH ROUGH TERRAINS
AND MAYBE WRESTLE A
CROCODILE OR TWO TO
GET THAT CHEST HAIR
GROWING. TO HELP YOU
OUT THERE, HERE ARE OUR
TOP EXTREME PICKS ALL
AROUND SOUTH AFRICA.
IN THE MEANWHILE, YOU
CAN PRACTISE SCREAMING,
“BUNGEEEEEE!!!!”

For the ultimate commercial abseil, visit Cape Town’s “Mother of all Abseils” – a riveting journey down Table Mountain, with an 1000ft cliff. It will be the rush of your life!
