Set in one of the last untouched mountain wilderness areas in southern Africa, the Malolotja Canopy Tour offers an unforgettable treetop adventure in Eswatini’s Malolotja Nature Reserve. This high-flying eco-experience lets you explore the pristine beauty of the rugged Sihlotswane Gorge from a thrilling new perspective—by zip-line. The tour begins with a scenic ride into the reserve, home to wildlife like blesbok, zebra, and rich birdlife. After a full safety briefing, you’re strapped into a harness and ready to soar.
The canopy course includes 10 zip-lines that sweep across the gorge and forest canopy, as well as a breathtaking 50-metre suspension bridge that crosses over a sparkling river far below. Platforms are perched high in ancient rock faces and towering trees, giving you spectacular views of the Malolotja highlands and surrounding valleys. As you glide from one platform to the next, trained guides share insights into the area’s ecology and conservation efforts. Expect to spot mountain fynbos, indigenous trees, and perhaps even catch a glimpse of rare bird species like the Narina trogon.
The entire experience takes about three hours and is designed for most fitness levels, making it ideal for families, groups, or adventurous solo travellers. The Malolotja Canopy Tour is a unique combination of adventure, nature, and culture in one of Africa’s most scenic high-altitude locations. It's a must-do activity for anyone visiting Eswatini.
