The Tsitsikamma Canopy Tour is a unique eco-wilderness adventure that
takes place in the magnificent Tsitsikamma indigenous rain forest.
The first of its kind in Africa, the canopy tour involves traversing
from one platform to another along a steel cable suspended up to 30 meters above
the forest floor...
Most platforms are located in giant Outeniqua
Yellowwood trees. The scenery and bird life is spectacular and professional
guides provide interesting facts about the forest ecology during the 2½ to 3
hour tour.
The concept of guiding people through the upper canopy of a
rain forest 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.
The
tour begins with a detailed safety briefing followed by a 'kitting up' session
where full body harness, pulleys and climbing equipment is issued and checked. A
short drive into the Tsitsikamma forest
and it is time to glide through the tree tops between the ten
platforms, suspended 30m above the forest’s floor and zipping down ten
slides or zip wires – the longest of which is 80m long! ~ for further
