Malolotja Zip - Lining Tour

You will be given a full safety briefing and all the gear you need before jumping into an open game viewing vehicle which will transport you to the start point. A short walk takes you to the first of 10 cables which range between 10 and 130 meters in length. You’ll have a short practice run on the first cable and then it’s onto the main cables which zip you at fantastic speeds over an incredibly beautiful gorge providing the perfect mixture of fun and adrenalin.

The whole way you are attached to safety cables and you have specially trained guides making sure you are safe and in professional care. Zip-lining offers an incredibly unique and exciting way of exploring places you’d usually never see like the tops of tall trees, cliff edges, and hidden gorges. This trip is likely to be the highlight of anyone’s trip to Swaziland!

Eswatini currently has just one tree top canopy tour and it is in the stunning Malolotja Nature Reserve in the North West Highlands. The Malolotja Canopy Tour is in the Sihlotswane Gorge, where one 50m suspension bridge and 11 wooden platforms have been ingeniously affixed to the steep sides. Participants descend the gorge by zip-lining down on a steel cable from platform to platform high above the forest canopy and Majolomba River. Some lines are more than 300m long.

The canopy tour offers views of towering cliff faces and the tree tops across the forest. Safety is paramount, and the system has been built to the highest civil engineering standards. Guides are trained professionals and this breathtaking experience can be enjoyed by people of all ages.

Situated deep within the pristine mountain wilderness of the Malolotja Nature Reserve, the Malolotja Canopy Tour® offers some of the most dramatic scenery you will ever encounter with striking rock formations, towering cliff faces, and views across the lush forest canopy towards the Malolotja mountain peaks.

Experience the thrill of gliding through the forest canopy in one of the last mountain wilderness areas left in Swaziland. The secluded Malolotja Nature Reserve contains plenty of game, amazing birdlife, and a world-renowned display of wildflowers in spring – all in all the ideal setting for a Canopy Tour
