Zip Line in Howick, South Africa.
Howick is a lovely little country town in the KwaZulu Natal Midlands with claim to some famous beauty spots like the Howick Falls. The weather is mild and apart from an arty, foody vibe that makes for a pleasant weekend spot, it is also the launch site for some great activities due in no small part to the abundance of stunning countryside. This includes places like the Midmar Dam, where the challenging Midmar Mile is held, and the Karkloof Forest, an unspoiled indigenous jewel that has inspired a 40 000-hectare conservancy project in the area.
A wonderful way for the whole family to enjoy the beauty and tranquillity of Karkloof forest, and even observe some interesting wildlife like the Samango monkey, is to join a 2-hour zipline adventure. Run by the company that built the first zipline in South Africa, you’re assured of being in good hands. You’ll slide from platform to platform through the forest at canopy height with two qualified guides keeping things safe, fun, and informative.
