High Ropes and Canopy Tours in South Africa
Zip lines come in all shapes and sizes, from those found in kids’ adventure playgrounds to others traversing huge valleys and canyons. The origins of these aerial ropeways date back thousands of years, but it’s only recently that their true potential has begun to be realised. Not only are they useful for transporting goods across mountainous terrain, they’re also perfect for observing hard-to-reach areas, like the rainforest canopy, without disturbing the environment. With the rise of eco and adventure tourism, zip lines have appeared in breathtaking locations all over the world—and luckily for us, South Africa is no exception! Because let’s be honest, the best thing about zip lines is that they’re lots and lots (and lots) of fun.
In this section, you’ll find some of the country’s best ziplining experiences and canopy tours. Treat yourself to an unforgettable day out in the treetops or surprise someone special with an Experience Days gift certificate—the gift that says, ‘go on, do something awesome today!’.
