“For me and my team mates – the Red Bull Airforce – we don’t get to go to Africa everyday.  This is a special trip of a lifetime.”

“We’ve been wanting to come to South Africa for years”

“We’re more afraid of the snakes than the jump!”

The Drakensberg mountain range stretches over 1000 km across South Africa and Lesotho, with its highest peak at 11, 424 feet. This highest portion of the Great Escarpment is known by the local Zulu community as uKhahlamba, Barrier of Spears. The place is renowned for its dramatic peaks, pinnacles and valleys.
