Activity Snapshot
Activity description
Fly across the valley of citrus on one of South Africa’s highest, longest, and fastest zip lines.
At 70 meters above Sundays River, 500-meter long twin cables stretch from a tower and descend across breathtaking views over Addo’s valley of the citrus. On these zip lines you can expect to reach an average speed of 60 km/h, some even exceeding 80 km/h. As they like to say here: Just let go!
The adventure kicks off with a short 10-minute hike through Addo’s indigenous bush until you reach the departure tower. A local professional will explain all you need to know and will make sure you are completely safe. These zip lines boast an automatic braking system developed and imported from the US that enables riders to have a smooth yet exhilarating stop. Once you reach the tower it’s time to get into position, get ready, and just let go! The hands-free zip line is the closest you will ever feel to flying. Be sure to enjoy the stunning landscape around you and get ready to want to do it all over again!
To get to meeting point: Take the N2 towards Grahamstown and then take the R335 to Motherwell (same directions for Addo Elephant National park). Continue for about 40 km until you reach the village of Addo. Just beyond Addo village, turn left onto the R336, heading towards Kirkwood. After 12km, look out for the Adrenalin Addo signboard and then follow the signs.
