Travel Activity - Abseiling (Rappelling)

The more extreme of the mountain sports, abseiling, or rappelling, involves descending from heights on a fixed rope. South Africa has the highest commercial abseil in the world. People drop off the edge of Cape Town's famous landmark, Table Mountain. This 112 metre rappel is sure to get the blood flowing. In various parts of the Western Cape, there are mountains and waterfalls to drop off and rivers to splash into.
