We had a very enjoyable time. The views are beautiful, our group was nice and small and everyone enjoyed the zip lines and the beautiful hike back to the vehicle.

Absolutely thrilling adventure and lots of fun for adults and kids.
The 3 guides were absolutely incredible. They were fun, knowledgeable and very helpful. They were also very patient with my kids.
The views from the zipline were breathtaking.
Initially we were abit scared, but it was beyond amazing and would definitely go again.
The hike after was intense especially with the kids, but we made it 🥳
A really fun experience and highly recommended for anyone seeking an adrenaline rush 😁

Breathtaking!
Visited here as a group of 3, (26,53 &72 years old) and it was fantastic for everyone! None of us had done anything like it before & 2 of us were scared of heights. However, once up there you feel in such good hands! I was apprehensive prior to arriving but as soon as you’re in the harness and ready to go, you feel really very safe. The team were very safety conscious on every single line. The variety of lines was amazing & the 2 guides were enthusiastic and friendly. The highlight of my 2 week holiday journeying around SA. Simply fantastic

Awesome experience, it will kill or cure your fear of heights, the 2 guides were so enthusiastic and very serious about safety ensuring we were always clipped to safety lines. The runs are called Mini Cooper, Black Ferrari etc depending on speed.
I am 66 don’t like heights but they coached me to get rid of the fear. 20 min steep hike back to the base after the zipping.

Wonderful experience for our family. Breathtaking views with just the right amount of adrenalin rush. Helpful guides who really took care of our kids.
Booking experience was seamless and signing of indemnity forms was made easy through an online link beforehand.
There is a steep hike at the end so prepare for that.

I have done a few of the Canopy Tours now, and this is in the top 2. The location is just magical, you are actually in or above the tree tops. At each platform the guide tells you about the trees you can see – most can be used to make Strong and Expensive Furniture, can you spot the one that can't before he tells you ?
The first zipline is nice and short, to get your confidence in the equipment, than you are soon off to lines hundreds of feet long, and hundred of feet above the river below. A little swapping of the order the group goes in – which the guides accommodate – allows you to take photos of your friends.
If you are happy on ropes this is an amazing way to see the world, if hanging from ropes is a new experience its adrenaline filled.

Great canopy zip-lining experience in the central Drakensberg area!
The tour was priced at about 600 Zar/person and we were not sure whether it would be worth the money, but yes it was!
Very friendly staff, very careful when it comes to safety and properly gearing you up.
There are 12 slides overall, some longer (up to 180m), some shorter, some faster others a bit slower. Very nice experience also because of the guides keeping you safe and explaining stuff around the forrest you zip through.

We were a team of 11 and we had an amazing time and yes all 12 zip lines were completed. The guides rocked some sensational moves on the zip line, the kids with us followed suit with upside down moves. It just got better and better with each zipline. Just a heads up the walk back up is a workout, but the zipline experience makes everything worthwhile.

Hallo, ich interessiere mich sehr für diese Tour und habe 2 Fragen dazu.
Gibt es bestimmte Jahreszeiten bzw Monate wo diese Tour gemacht bzw empfohlen wird? Oder kann man dieses ganzjährig machen?
Dann würde ich gerne wissen, ob es bestimmte Vorraussetzungen, bzw Grenzen wie Höchstalter, -Gewicht und -Größe gibt? Vielen Dank schon einmal für die Antwort.
Herzliche Grüße.

The tour operates daily, except for Christmas Day. Please go online for available time slots. Anyone over 5 and under 160kg can enjoy the tour. There is a challanging 500m walk out of the forest at the end but its well worth the effort. Included in the price is a 4x4 trip to the start of the tour and back to base, all equipment needed, 2x guides per group, and a complimentary light meal once you have returned to base. The tour is done in all weather conditions when deemed safe by management. Tours will be cancelled or postponed due to managements discretion.

Children old enough to ride a bike will he coordinated enough to take either the Karkloof or Drakensberg canopy tour
If you want then one of the guides can he strapped to the person like a tandem parachute and the guide will control the descent

It's about 10-15 minutes. About 500m of canopy meandering. Uphill steep walk. no climbing. Still have the gear on but it is doable. Then vehicle brings you back to base
