Description
Join us on an epic adventure in South Africa. With Cathkin Peak in the background and lush vegetation all around, the Central Drakensberg forest is the perfect setting for your ziplining.
We take your safety really seriously. So, we won’t go anywhere before first giving you a safety briefing and fitting you up with all the necessary equipment.
When we’re ready, we’ll take a quick trip to the start of our tour. Then, it’s go-time. We’ll zip from platform to platform, sometimes on cliff faces and sometimes treetop platforms, using steel cables. We’ll take in awesome views of the beautiful forest and mountains as we go.
Your guide will be on hand to ensure that you’re safe and happy throughout. They’ll also be able to point out places of interest and to share cool facts and history about the landscape around you.
We’ll spend around three hours up in the canopy and then it’ll be time to head back to reception where we’ll all enjoy a meal together. Please keep in mind that you are welcome to join this program with children as young as 6 years old, and if you are older, you are also invited to join us as long as you are younger than 90. However, do keep in mind that there is a short steep walk of 600m, so you will need a good fitness level.
This is a seriously fun trip and is not to be missed, book now to secure your spot.
Once you get a taste for zip lining we’re sure you’ll want more. Be sure to also check out our Cape Canopy Tour, close to Cape Town.

What people are saying about Explore-Share
Man
Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
