There's something deeply special about indigenous forests. The lush luminosity of life played out in near-perpetual shade, the warm dank scent of sweaty growth and languorous decay. Everyday from 08h00 - 15h00 the second largest indigenous forest in South Africa situated at Karkloof 18 kms inland Howick comes alive with people of all ages and sizes experiencing a true "Tarzan and Jane Adventure", on slides of up to 175m long which takes them amongst the birds, monkeys, trees and plants of this magnificent forest.

The system has been designed and constructed by a civil engineer.During the tour two or more trained guides ensure the safety of each group while describing interesting facts about the ecology and life in the forest.

The experience starts with a briefing session at the Karkloof Canopy Tour base camp where you will be shown the do's and don'ts during your tour. You will also be kitted out with your harness, safety helmet and sliding glove where opportunity would be given to ask your guides questions. Should you wish, the option to go tandem with one of your qualified guides as an option open to all, he then becomes your "ABS" brakes and all you do is enjoy the ride. After briefing you will be taken up the mountain in a 4x4 with a short 30m walk to the first platform.

Can I do this?
Of course the answer is a resounding YES!This is for everyone with a sense of adventure and a love of beauty should come and experience our "Tarzan & Jane Adventure". Ideal for team building, children's parties, anniversaries and wooing of friend and foe!
