Glide Through the Canopy: Karkloof Aerial Cable Trail

Discover the Karkloof Forest from a whole new angle with the Aerial Cable Trail — a suspended adventure that lets you move through the treetops with effortless freedom. High above the forest floor, each cable glide carries you deeper into one of KwaZulu-Natal’s most pristine natural spaces, offering views and moments you simply can’t get from the ground.

Your experience starts with a detailed safety briefing and secure harness setup using trusted, professional gear. Once clipped in, you’ll move between a series of elevated platforms connected by steel aerial cables, each section designed to give you a smooth, scenic journey through towering indigenous trees and lush valley views.

Every stretch of cable offers its own thrill. You’ll sweep past massive trunks, skim along sunlit canopy edges, and listen to the forest come alive around you — from Samango monkeys calling across the branches to flashes of bright birdlife weaving through the leaves. One of the standout moments is crossing near a cascading waterfall, where the views open into the expansive Karkloof Valley and create a picture-perfect pause point.

This trail blends gentle adventure with deep immersion in nature. It’s designed for anyone who wants to feel the height and beauty of the forest without needing extreme speed or technical skill. Families, first-timers, and nature-seekers all walk away with the same feeling: pure, elevated wonder.

From platform to platform, the Aerial Cable Trail celebrates the peace, height, and hidden beauty of the treetop world — a quiet, unforgettable way to explore one of South Africa’s most remarkable forest environments.
