Cape Canopy Tours operate a high-altitude zipline canopy tour in the Hottentots Holland Nature Reserve, about an hour’s drive from Cape Town. After a short 4×4 ride up the mountain, you’ll travel through the treetops on a series of steel cables (13 platforms in total), sliding between towers with sweeping views of fynbos, forests and waterfalls. The experience combines thrills and education – local experts accompany each small group and point out indigenous plants, birds and mountain vistas along the way.
