Aerial Cable Trail in Howick

Aerial Cable Trail Thrills in Howick

Strap in and step off the edge—Howick’s Aerial Cable Trail launches you into the treetops for a gravity-defying ride through lush indigenous forest. Suspended high above the ground, this zipline journey is pure freedom, offering a unique perspective on the wild beauty of the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands.

Each glide between platforms is a pulse of adrenaline as you soar from one giant tree to the next, some as tall as 30 metres. The trail weaves through canopies of ancient yellowwoods and wild fig trees, with sunlight slicing through the leaves and bird calls echoing all around. You might spot a Samango monkey darting through the branches or a Knysna turaco flashing its emerald wings below.

The longest line stretches nearly 200 metres—enough time to forget everything but the wind and the view. It’s fast, it’s silent, it’s spectacular. Between ziplines, you pause on sturdy platforms built into the forest giants, catching your breath and taking in vistas of untouched wilderness.

This isn’t just about the thrill—though there’s plenty of that—it’s about being immersed in something bigger, wilder, and more alive than any screen or city. Whether you're chasing a bucket-list rush or just want to reconnect with the wild, the Aerial Cable Trail in Howick is an unforgettable high-altitude journey through nature’s playground.
