Slacklining in the Bush

Zimbabwe – with their slacklines, the pros Lukas Irmler and Reinhard Kleindl went on safari and visited an African school – impressive pictures guaranteed!




After fulfilling their longtime dream of crossing the world-famous Victoria Falls gorge on a highline, Lukas Irmler and Reinhard Kleindl, two slackline pros from Germany and Austria, visit Ngamo Primary School at Hwange in Zimbabwe.

Their mission: giving back. They surprise the kids with a video about their Victoria Falls adventure and two brand-new slacklines for the school. The latter are tested right away. A heart-warming experience.

They crown their trip to Zimbabwe with some game viewing. Lukas Irmler and Reinhard Kleindl spend two days at Hwange National Park. It goes without saying that they set up their slackline everywhere they can.

Balancing on a one-inch wide webbing in dizzy heights right in front of the world-famous Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, Africa is an extraordinary dream that has come true for two professional slackliners:
After two years of preparation, 26-year old economic science student Lukas Irmler from Germany and 34-year old journalist and author Reinhard Kleindl from Austria, achieved their sought-after goal: balancing on a one-inch wide webbing in a height of 100 metres, right in front of the unique setting of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The two slackliners not only enjoyed a breath-taking view on the 1.7 km-wide and majestic waterfalls, but also the unique sight of a circular rainbow in the spray smother underneath their highline.
Lukas said: “We’ve waited for over two years to come here... If it wasn’t the very best, we wouldn’t have waited for two years to experience this moment and get this incredible chance. We will never forget our time here in Zimbabwe and
