EXPERIENCES THIS WEEK Leap of Faith at The Hub Mall Nairobi: Try the Jump by Flying Fox Adrenaline Experience
L
ooking for adrenaline activities in Nairobi? The Leap of Faith at Jump by Flying Fox at The Hub Karen is one of the most thrilling experiences you can try. You’ve probably had those dreams where you’re falling through the air, only to wake up just before you hit the ground. Now imagine choosing to take that step, walking to the edge of a 14-metre platform and letting gravity take over. That is the rush this experience is designed to deliver. The Leap of Faith is a highadrenaline activity operated by Flying Fox Kenya, known for creating some of the most exciting outdoor experiences in the country. This activity is also bookable
through KenyaBuzz, making it easy to secure your spot in advance. Participants begin on a 14-metre platform and attempt to grab or kick a suspended punching bag positioned in front of the jump point. Once you leap, you are safely lowered back to the ground using a secure auto-belay system. No prior training is required, making it accessible even for first-timers. While 14 metres may not sound intimidating, the height feels very real when you are standing at the edge. Safety, however, is a top priority. Participants are fitted with professional safety gear and guided by trained instructors throughout the experience to ensure a controlled and secure jump. Safety Guidelines: • Not suitable for pregnant participants • Minimum height: 1.4 metres (4’7”) • Maximum weight: 100 kg • No participation if you have had
surgery in the past six months • No participation if you have experienced a seizure in the past six months • Not allowed under the influence of alcohol or drugs Children under 18 require a signed disclaimer from a parent or guardian, while those under 16 must be supervised by an adult. Beyond the Leap of Faith, visitors can enjoy a variety of other adventure activities in Nairobi at Jump by Flying Fox, including ziplining, the giant swing, air bag jump, wall climbing, and abseiling. All experiences are available for booking through KenyaBuzz. If you are searching for fun things to do in Nairobi, extreme sports in Kenya, or a unique weekend activity in Karen, this adrenaline experience should be at the top of your list. Book your Leap of Faith experience today on KenyaBuzz and take the jump.
