The Karkloof Canopy Tour® has been built in a spectacular valley of the mistbelt podacarpus Karkloof Forest Reserve.
The Karkloof Canopy Tour consists of 12 platforms and 10 zip-line slides, the longest of which is 200m! A tour lasts approximately two hours, this is a safe, fun adventure for people between the ages of 6 and 80+ and includes refreshments during the tour and a light lunch served at the end.
The Karkloof Canopy Tour begins with a detailed safety briefing followed by a ‘Kitting up’ session where full body harness, pulleys, and climbing equipment are put on and checked for safety. A short scenic 4×4 drive to the top of the Karkloof valley and it is time to monkey around! From the start on the launch platform, a new world unfolds as one gently glides on a steel cable to the first platform. All groups are escorted through the forest canopy by a lead guide and a safety guide to ensure your safety as you slide from tree to tree. The platforms are built high up in the forest canopy and all offer different views of the surrounding forest, a magnificent 20m waterfall, clear sparkling forest stream and across the expansive Karkloof valley far below.
Spend a couple of minutes relaxing on the platforms while your guides enthusiastically explain the ecology of the forest – pointing out different trees and the magnificent giant ferns way below. The bird life is incredible. This includes the opportunity of spotting Emerald Cuckoos, Knysna Turaco, a wide variety of raptors and if you are lucky, the elusive Narina Trogon or endangered Cape Parrots. The forest is also home to a variety of mammals, but it is the loud calls and fearsome tree swinging of the Samango monkeys that you will remember best.
Tours run at specific time slots. BOOKINGS ARE ESSENTIAL! PLEASE ARRIVE 20 MINUTES BEFORE THE TIME.
THE CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL BEFORE A CANOPY TOUR IS NOT PERMITTED FOR OBVIOUS SAFETY REASONS!
NO WOMEN THAT ARE PREGNANT, OR EVEN SUSPECT THAT THEY MAY BE PREGNANT, ARE PERMITTED TO PARTAKE IN A CANOPY TOUR!

Karkloof Canopy Tour
Highly recommend. The guides are really great. The ziplines are very fun to do and have breath-taking views. - Shereen
We had a lovely time gliding through the tree canopy, ably assisted by our friendly & cheerful guides. This is an experience not to be missed & anyone nervous of heights need not worry. Being amongst the trees is reassuring & once safely secured on the cables the exileration quickly quells any fear! Do it, you won't regret it! - Mark
Wow .... a deep breathe in some good clean fresh air is what you need for your first leap of pure outdoorsy pleasure. Our Khold Finance team certainly overcame our fear of heights in no time and after our second launchpad the game was on to get to the bottom. I must say we all had a thorough good time and the communal ride home was certainly abuzz chatting about our shared experiences. We will definitely do this again and some hope to do this with loved one's in the future. It really was an experience to remember for years to come. Thank you Karkloof team, the guys were certainly awesome guides, very helpful and always put our teams safety first. Thanks again for helping us enjoy the day. Kind regards, Yuraisha (APLI) Khold Finance Team - African
Brilliant scenery, brilliant personnel that makes you feel safe and also have a good knowledge of the area. We really enjoyed it a lot and will be back. - Francois
Thank you to the entire team, I really had a wonderful experience. I started doing Canopy tours in 2003 in Knysna and ever since try to do one where ever I go. This was my first time in Karkloof and I was not let down. I still have to do the one in Swaziland to complete the entire list. Awesome like always. - Jacobus
