About this activity
Led by trained guides as you glide between platforms perched in trees and on cliff faces, allow your senses to flood with the timeless atmosphere of the forest. The inspiring nature of the majestic Drakensberg, the ancient indigenous forest, waterfalls and the cascading stream make this an opportunity not to be missed.

Safety is our No.1 Priority

We think about the SAFETY OF OUR GUESTS from the moment we start work until the last tour of the day. Every one of our Canopy Tours has been designed and constructed by a qualified civil engineer. Daily course checks and an annual engineering inspection are carried out as part of our RIGOROUS SAFETY PROGRAMME. All our guides complete a comprehensive training course and are assessed for every aspect of SAFE OPERATION and INDUSTRY BEST PRACTICE before they qualify to start guiding.

The Canopy Tour starts with a safety briefing at the canopy office. Here your guides will first demonstrate how to slide on the cables and the safety procedures to be followed on the tour, before kitting you up with full body harness, pulley, climbing equipment and safety helmet.Your group will then be transported in an open vehicle to the start of the canopy tour.From the moment you launch off the first platform, a new world unfolds as you slide on a steel cable across to the next viewpoint. Once you arrive at the platform we encourage you to stop for a while and enjoy the view while your guide points out interesting features or facts about the surrounding ecology.All groups are escorted by a lead guide and safety guide at all times.Your safety is paramount and we have strict procedures in place to ensure that you are constantly connected to either the cable or the platform. Each tour lasts between 2 1/2 – 3 1/2 hours, depending how many people there are in your group. Upon returning to the office you will enjoy a well-deserved complimentary light meal and refreshments.

You should wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe footwear. Open sandals are not suitable as they will simply fall off. Shorts or long pants are fine but mini-skirts are not. Running shoes, takkies, and veldskoene are perfect and strap-on sandals will do. Don’t forget to bring your camera or cell phone (AT YOUR OWN RISK) as there are many excellent photo opportunities along the way. And if it looks rainy we recommend you bring a raincoat and/or change of dry clothing.

Anyone from 5 and under 160kg can enjoy The Drakensberg Canopy Tour®. There is a steep +- 550m walk out of the forest over uneven ground which you can take your time with. Those who do not have the ability to regulate their speed on the slides will be able to go in tandem along each cable with one of our trained guides. If you have a medical condition or disability please enquire with our office staff before booking a tour.
