About The Canopy Tour- The First of Its Kind in Africa
The first of its kind in Africa, the canopy tour involves zip-lining from one platform to another along a steel cable suspended up to 30 meters above the forest floor…
Discover the secrets of the spectacular and unique wilderness of Tsitsikamma Indigenous forest. As you enter the forest you’ll encounter Hard Pear trees, Giant Yellow Woods, beautiful Tree Ferns hundreds of years old and other interesting Forest Flora. Stand beside a colossal Outeniqua Yellowwood and feel like a dwarf against this spectacular giant.
What better gift than an experience of a lifetime?
Your Tsitsikamma Zipline Experience
“It begins with a scream and ends with a smile!”- Customer Experience
The 2 to 2½-hour zipline canopy tour begins with a detailed safety briefing followed by a ‘kitting up’ session where a full-body harness, pulleys, and other equipment is issued and checked. A short drive into the forest and it’s time to monkey around! The tour consists of ten slides (the longest one measures 91m), each ending on a platform constructed in the trees. No climbing or jumping is necessary.
From the start of the launch platform, a new world unfolds as one gently glides through the treetops. All groups are escorted through the forest canopy by a lead guide and a follow guide to ensure your safety as you slide from tree to tree. The platforms built high up in the giant Outeniqua Yellowwoods, provide an unbelievable view of this enchanting forest.
Birdlife is abundant (including Knysna Loerie’s and the elusive Narina Trogon), and your guides will explain the ecology of this lush primeval forest. You might be lucky to spot a Vervet monkey or two, too!
“The view will take your breath away.”- Client Experience
The Story of the Original Canopy Tour
The concept of guiding people through the upper canopy of a rainforest originated in Costa Rica, where adventurous biologists devised new methods for accessing the forest canopy in order to conduct research on the undiscovered canopy ecosystem. The idea soon developed into a breathtaking form of eco-tourism which allowed people to enter and experience a previously inaccessible natural environment. Concept to completion, it took fourteen and a half months to construct the Tsitsikamma Canopy Tour system.
