World's longest zipline to open in South Africa
After delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the world's longest zipline is finally nearing completion near Caledon in South Africa's Overberg region. The 3.2-kilometre-long attraction, developed by K3 - SA Forest Adventures, will surpass the current record holder in Ras al Khaimah by nearly 400 metres.
Thrill-seekers will soon be able to soar over Overberg's picturesque wheatfields, with panoramic views of mountains and the N2 highway. This unique experience adds a new dimension to Caledon's tourism offerings, which traditionally centred on wildflower trails and the Elgin Railway Market.
Whilst an exact opening date is yet to be announced, K3 is confident the zipline will be operational in July 2024. The project, initially planned for completion in 2022, faced setbacks due to pandemic-related complications.
Adventure enthusiasts are advised to follow K3 - SA Forest Adventures for updates on this record-breaking attraction, set to provide an unparalleled bird's-eye view of the region's stunning landscapes.
