Skydiving – Ground Rush Adventures has established a name as the best skydiving centre in Africa. Experience the adrenalin-rush of tandem skydiving, or free falling, depending on your level of expertise. Craig Milne and Matthias Röttcher lead a very experienced crew of Professional Skydivers who specialise in all disciplines of Skydiving. These men have become known in the industry for their professionalism, charisma, and high safety standards. Their love for the sport, or the addiction to it, has not faded over the years and this can be felt by the tandem students in their pursuit of the ultimate feeling of freedom: free falling.
Sandboarding – Trips run daily from 09:30 am until 13:30. We offer both Lie Down and Stand Up boarding, both of which do not require previous experience. Lie Down boarding offers the ultimate adrenaline buzz as one can reach speeds of up to 80kph. Stand Up boarding is done on modified snowboards with soft boots and bindings.
