Get your rush on the world's tallest swing
Moses Mabhida Stadium is one of Durban’s most recognisable landmarks thanks to its iconic “arch of triumph”.
The Big Rush Big Swing allows adrenalin junkies to hurl themselves from the highest point of the stadium. But before you take your big leap of faith, you have to climb 352 steps to get there. It’s all worth it though, because the experience of freefalling 60-metres, before swinging across the pitch, is one you will never forget. The Guinness Book of Records named the Big Rush Big Swing the world’s tallest swing in 2011. Yet another reason to tick it off your bucket list.
Walking is so yesterday, take a tour of Moses Mbahida Stadium whole gliding on a Segway. The Segway Gliding Tour is one of best (and coolest) ways to explore the stadium. Beginners need not fear, as a qualified Segway tour operator will help you get the hang of things before you glide off into the sunset.
Moses Mabhida’s People’s Park is the perfect location for some family bonding. Kids can ride their bikes or play on the jungle gym in a safe environment. Mom and dad can watch the kids while eating lunch at People’s Park Café, and surfing the net courtesy of the café’s free wifi.
The “I Heart Market” is another reason to visit Moses Mbahida Stadium. The popular market takes place on the first Saturday of every month, and showcases locally made products such as fashion, jewellery, décor, as well as second hand items, and environmentally friendly goods. Did we mention that there is also lots of delicious food on offer?
