Fast and Furious!
No, we are not talking about fast cars we are talking about the epic adventure of zip lining. If you want to fly but don’t have the guts to jump out of a plane, bungee jump or hang glide this one is definitely for you. We won’t lie! You will still receive the goosebumps and the hair-raising moments but this is far less insane than the other options.
Before you begin, you will be introduced to your awesome guide and assistant who will very thoroughly go through the entire safety briefing and orientation with you. Once the legal formalities are done, a professional will come and help you with your body harness, pulleys and climbing equipment. They will teach you how to brake if you don’t want to reach those monstrous speeds in less than 5 seconds. Then you’re off.
Once you reach the platform your guide will attach you to the line and before you know it, you’ll be experiencing the adrenalin rush travelling at speeds above 100km per hour hurtling from anywhere between 125m to 2.3km across a gorge, tree canopy or the African desert. Whether you are travelling to South Africa, Tanzania, Botswana, Namibia or Zimbabwe there are many amazing zip lining opportunities which you can participate in.
As you whoosh down the zip line you will instinctively want to ululate as if you were Tarzan whisking between the treetops.
