Tsitsikamma Forest Canopy Tour

The tour begins with a detailed safety briefing followed by a ‘kitting up’ session where full body harness, pulleys and climbing equipment is put on and checked. A short drive into the Tsitsikamma forest and it is time to monkey around!

From the start on the launch platform a new world unfolds as you gently glide on a steel cable to the first tree platform. All groups are escorted through the forest canopy by a lead guide and a follow guide to ensure your safety as you slide from tree to tree.

The platforms, built high up in the giant Outeniqua Yellowwoods, provide an unbelievable view of this enchanting new world (the tour consists of ten platforms of and ten ‘fufi’ slides, the longest of which is over 80 m!) – any fear of heights is soon lost as you soak in your surroundings.

Spend a couple of minutes relaxing while your guides enthusiastically explain the ecology of the forest – pointing out different trees and the magnificent ferns way below. The bird life is incredible: Knysna Loeries, sightings of the elusive Narina Trogon and the Samago monkey are not uncommon.

About three hours later you leave the forest, having had a unique monkey-eye view of this special conservation area.
