Canopy Tours in South Africa

  • The Tsitsikamma Canopy Tour offers the first tree top canopy tour to be developed in South Africa. In the Tsitsikamma Forest near Stormsriver in the Eastern Cape. Combining a goodly shot of adrenaline with awesome scenery, this tour consists of 10 platforms and 10 slides, the longest of which is 100m.
  • Karkloof Canopy Tours offers South Africas longest canopy tour. The second tree top canopy tour to be built in South Africa is in the Karkloof Forest, near Pietermaritzburg in KwaZulu-Natal. Consisting of eight slides, the longest of which is 170m, this one can be quite fast. However, the emphasis is on the forest plants, ecology and birds. As well as zooming through the canopy, on this one you also get to fly above the canopy for a while. The Karkloof Tree Top Canopy Tour has the added advantage of a waterfall and a stream.
  • Magaliesberg Canopy Tour, near Magaliesburg, in the North West Province, near Johannesburg isnt really a tree-top tour. The platforms are against spectacular cliffs, which offer breathtaking views of the Ysterhout Kloof. In this case, youre mostly above the trees instead of within them, but you do get a fabulous look at the scenery, plants and perhaps some animals.
