World’s Highest Bungee Jump on the Bloukrans Bridge in South Africa
Located not too far from Nature’s Valley, West Cape, South Africa is the Bloukrans Bridge. To many this is just another road bridge spanning a river. But to extreme sport fans and bungee jumping fanatics around the globe this is more than a just another bridge. This is the location of the world’s highest commercial bungee jump. Welcome to Bloukrans Bridge!

Completed in 1984, the Bloukrans Bridge is a relatively new bridge. Despite that, it is probably one of the more well known bridges in the world. Even if you aren’t familiar with the name, you’ve probably heard about it whenever you’ve heard about bungee jumps. That goes to show you how popular this particular extreme tourist destination has become.
The bridge itself stands at a height of 216 meters over the Bloukrans River. That makes it the highest single span arch bridge, and highest commercial bungee jump off a bridge, in the world. Face Adrenalin, the company that operates the bungee jumps, even has the Guinness® World Records certificate to prove it.
So, if you happen to be in South Africa, head over to Bloukrans Bridge. Don’t forget to bring a video camera though, as we’d love to see your daring bungee jump off the Bloukrans Bridge.
