If your soul craves the great outdoors or if you’re an adrenaline junkie at heart, then you’ll be as stoked as I am that the world’s longest zipline will be finding a home for itself in our magnificent province writes Cape {town} Etc’s Micayla Vellai.
Set in the breathtaking Overberg mountains near Caledon, the zipline named K3 will be just over three kilometres, snatching the title as world’s longest zipline from the current title holder, the Jebel Jais Flight in the United Arab Emirates.
According to SA Forest Adventures, the installation will commence during tourism month in September and is expected to be operational later in the 2021/2022 summer season. This is also described as one of the world’s most ambitious zipline projects
“This is a joint venture between SA Forest Adventures and Mossel Bay Zipline. We believe that the zipline will be more than just a top attraction, and a phenomenal amount of planning has gone into the project since conceptual inception and approval in 2018.
“We believe firmly in our country’s ability to be a leader in the adventure industry, which is why we invest substantially in these projects,” said MD of South African Forest Adventures, Clinton Lerm.
“We still firmly believe in the capacity of South Africa as a top tourism destination and a world player with other adventure destinations such as New Zealand and Canada,” Lerm adds.
