This is an eco-experience. But Karkloof Canopy Tours it’s more than that. Using state of the art climbing and safety equipment, they suspend you on a pulley attached to a steel cable 30 metres above the Karkloof indigenous forest floor. And then it’s “Goodnight Vienna”.
Sure it’s a big rush. But don’t think these guys aren’t serious about safety. The kit is “state of the art”. The whole thing’s been designed with the strictest civil engineering standards in mind. You begin with a safety briefing. Your harness and gear are checked and double-checked by the lead guide. And then you’re off!

Karkloof Canopy Tours
“Off” means you’ve just jumped off the first of seven platforms – high-up in the trees. Catch your breath, calm your heart-rate. You’ve got eight slides, the longest of which is 170 metres long as you whizz and zig-zag, down the pristine indigenous Karkloof forest valley.
By the way, did I mention that this was an “eco-experience”? You did notice and observe the 20 metre waterfall you zoomed over, the river you crossed, the magnificence of the forest, the very rare bird-life, the Samago monkeys? You did notice these things, didn't you?
No?
Then you'd better go back and do it again tomorrow!
