The Garden Route's longest and highest ziplines opens in the Garden Route National Park!

South African National Parks (SANParks) in partnership SA Forest Adventures launched
"Knysna Ziplines", the Garden Route's longest and highest zipline, on 15 September2020. Located in the Knysna Lakes section of Garden Route National Park between Plettenberg Bay and Knysna, "Knysna Ziplines" offers scenic views of the Kranshoek Gorge, the ocean, fynbos and indigenous forests. The zipline, which is 2.2km in length and reaches heights of more than 200m, will start operating with four lines, increasing to six lines by the end of 2020. The official opening takes place on 18 September 2020.


"Knysna Ziplines" initially got the thumbs up to proceed with construction in 2017 but were disrupted by the 2017 Knysna fires. Work restarted in late 2018 and was completed just before COVID-19 related lockdown started in March 2020.
