The more we humans are being cooped up in cities with high rise buildings and less and less green parks and open spaces, the more people find they have a need to be in the great outdoors and to experience nature and all the wonders it holds.
Canopy tours are a wonderful and alternative way to experience nature in an eco-friendly manner as you do not even walk through the forest or valley. You do not disturb the plants or the animals and this is becoming very important for many people.
Canopy tours allow you to move through the trees along a cable system on to a series of platforms where you can rest and enjoy the birds, animals and scenery. These tours are under the guidance of qualified expert canopy guides that assist you throughout and also give input about everything you see and answer questions in a knowledgeable way.
South Africa boasts some excellent canopy tour sites around the country in Kwazulu Natal, the Magaliesberg, in Mpumalanga and in the Tsitsikamma in the Garden Route to name a few.
Canopy tours are safe as all the equipment is state of the art and every canopy tour route has been designed and built according to stringent engineering standards. Everyone gets kitted out with safety gear and all possible safety precautions are taken.
This is an incredibly thrilling experience and possible one of the greatest ways to experience nature that we have today.
