Experience the freedom of gliding over one of the last remaining natural forested valleys along the Sabie River and the thrill of Africa`s longest aerial cable trail. Peace and tranquility are found whilst suspended above the majestic Sabie Forest with views all the way to Kruger National Park, and of course becoming just another high flyer viewing game such as leopards. Reptile encounters with pythons a possibility and of course admiring the rare plants seen only in these South African forests!
The aerial cable trail takes you down into the valley basin, stopping along the way on a number of elevated platforms to admire the natural vegetation, birdlife and the views of the forest floor below.
Each section of the trail varies in length from 70 to 230 meters linking a total of 10 platforms, making this the longest cable trail in Africa (1,2km). The trail has been designed and built to South African civil engineering standards and all the equipment has been designed specifically for this activity, tried and tested worldwide. Experience this wild adventure for yourself while all groups are escorted by qualified guides.
The Guest Lodge from where this activity takes place is situated approximately 3km from Hazyview on the (Sabie/Hazyview Rd). Approximately 4 and half hours drive from Johannesburg and offering well appointed rooms with en-suite facilities and set in lush garden surroundings. The rooms are tastefully furnished with hand-made wrought iron furniture & fittings as well as fine linen. Here the focus is on guest comfort. Facilities include a Swimming pool, Restaurant and bar and additional activities such as Golf, horseback riding, quad bike trails and balloon or microlight flights.
Participants meet, to complete the necessary documentation and a short introductory briefing from the friendly guides and staff at the Lodge - kit up and do a short run while they show you how to ride the cables... and STOP! This comes in handy when you see something you really want to take the time and look at, an adventure incomparable with any other.
Guests are then transported to the starting point of the trail to commence their 10 platform ride down to the bottom of the valley and after the trail has been completed, participants are returned to the Lodge where meals and refreshments can be arranged if required.
