Here are our top zipline and canopy tours:
All Out Adventures – near Bergville in the Drakensberg
Take your family to the Northern Drakensberg and try their Extreme Cable Tour. It happens to be their most popular activity. It’s an exhilarating and scenic ride on 900m of cable between seven forested platforms.
There is also the King Swing – a 17-meter free-fall swing from a tree-top suspension bridge. Combine it with their Zip Lining and enjoy spectacular views from the tree tops.
In my opinion, bragging rights are to be attained at the Flying Trapeze. Yes, All Out Adventures has an authentic circus trapeze where you can learn a knee hang and a back flip dismount. For the less adventurous there is The Bungee Bounce, a four-way trampoline, winch and bungee system, where you safely perform back flips, or just enjoy the bounce.
All Out Adventures is located at Moeggestap Farm, Off the D119, Bergville, Northern Drakensberg. Here is their location on Google Maps.

A canopy tour basically involves zip-lining from one platform to another often over a forest –the scenic Blue Grotto forest in the KwaZulu Natal. The forest is home to over 150 species of birds including the rare Bush Blackcap.
What is also unique about the Drakensberg Canopy Tour is that it has Africa’s first elevated rock face walkway. This means it has a good mix of both cliff face and treetop platforms and cable slides over the forest, waterfalls and a cascading stream – up to 60 metres high.
