I am 67 and my wife is 68 and I have to say I was slightly apprehensive at the thought of this venture, but we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The guides were very professional and the zip lines (12) of them were fantastic. The view from the top of the canopy down to the bottom of the forest and river were spectacular..We thoroughly enjoyed our day and would recommend anybody else to consider it if you are in the area.

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.

Wow is all I can say. 12 Ziplines over the most amazing view and sounds of a flowing river below. This was a magical experience I will forever experience. I appreciated the experienced guides who were so polite and understanding as this was my first time ziplining experience. I would certainly do this over and over again.

We had been on this particular canopy tour twice before and since we had an exchange student from Australia with us, it was a no-brainier to book again. It was due to be a group of 7 youngsters, aged 14-20. 4 of them had done this tour before. In the past we were always told that it was 2 guides to a max group size of 8. This morning, one of the youngsters fell ill, so 6 of them set off. To their horror, they added another family of 5 to their group. The guides had no time to explain about the fauna and flora as they had in the past and the tour took more than 4 hours. I was deeply disappointed that the exchange student came back without experiencing what we had in the past.

The canopy tour was 12 ziplines of various speeds and lengths through the forest. It was great. The two guides were very professional and the whole tour was extremely safe. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the hike back to the vehicle, but it was a necessary evil. I fully recommend this activity to people visiting Cathkin Park who want a little more adventure than just hiking.

Hi! Thanks for your feedback. Yes the walk is a little strenuous, but the beauty of the forest makes up for it. :) We do hope to see you again when you're next in the Central Drakensberg, alternatively visit our sister company Karkloof Canopy Tour in Howick.

After arriving we were quickly assisted with our booking and to the safety briefing. It was clear that the staff was well trained on a working system. However we had a minor incident and could have been handled differently. Their safety procedures were top notch and we never felt unsafely. Its was the second time we did it and will definitely do it again!

Arrived at the office unbooked and they immediately helped my 9 yr old girl and I to gear up. The 10min ride up the mountain was a bit bumpy then enjoyed hiking into the indigenous forest to start the zipline. 2 guides accompanied us and you are strapped
safely at 3 different points. The sandwich and coffee back at their office
was a pleasant surprise !

Anyone can do this!
We felt well looked after and we were given a very informative brief before the trip.
Most importantly we felt safe. The equipment was in good condition and hygiene was stressed and considered.
It was exhilarating experience which you need on your bucket list.
We were treated with the most delicious chicken mayonnaise roll at the end.

Drakensberg Canopy Tour was wonderful! The guides were super professional, friendly, and fun! The canopy ziplines themselves were a blast (you can go really fast and across pretty long lines) and we saw a lot of great scenery. Would definitely recommend this for anyone in the area!

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

Just how long the walk back is, and is it uphill?
Written August 24, 2016
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
