Cape Town Zipline Adventure: Table Mountain Treetop Zips with Hotel Pickup
Fly between ridgelines above Cape Town on a guided zipline course that borders Table Mountain National Park. With hotel pickup, a 4x4 approach into the slopes, and lines up to 500m, this two-hour outing pairs big views with accessible thrills.
The Experience
Before You Go
Book mornings for calmer winds
Winds pick up in the afternoon on Table Mountain slopes—early slots usually offer smoother, faster zips and clearer views.
Bring closed-toe shoes
Sturdy trainers or hiking shoes improve control on platforms and during short approach walks between lines.
Tell the operator about medical concerns
Weight, heart, pregnancy, and spinal conditions are screened; disclose issues before booking to ensure safety and proper gear.
Layer for changing temperatures
Mountain weather shifts quickly—light insulating layers and a windbreaker keep you comfortable during cool mornings and breezy descents.

Conservation Note
Stay on established platforms and approach trails—fynbos vegetation is fragile and recovers slowly; operators follow permit rules to limit erosion and disturbance.
The slopes are part of the wider Table Mountain conservation area; Kirstenbosch was founded in 1913 to showcase Cape fynbos and protect local plant diversity.
