The gorge
Oribi Gorge Nature Reserve protects the gorge, its forest and its wildlife; there are walking trails and viewpoints such as the Lehr's Falls area. Bring a picnic and good shoes.
Wild 5 Adventures
At Lehr's Falls, Wild 5 Adventures runs the Wild Swing, billed as the world's highest gorge swing at 165 metres, the Wild Slide that zips you out over the middle of the gorge, abseiling down the cliffs, a suspension bridge and quad-bike trails.
