Overview
About this experience
The Magaliesberg range is one of the oldest mountain systems on earth, and the canopy tour runs a sequence of steel cable slides between platforms bolted into the cliffs of the Ysterhout Kloof.
It is more scenic than extreme — you are seated in a full harness with a guide on each platform, and the slides run over indigenous forest, rock pools and a waterfall. No experience is required.
Highlights
- Eleven ziplines through an ancient kloof
- Waterfalls and rock pools below the cable line
- Qualified guides on every platform
- Suitable for beginners from age seven
- Return transfers and a light meal at the base
