Hoedspruit Quad Bike Safari and Zipline Adventure
Ride through mopane and marula veld, spot giraffe and zebra from a quad, then soar over the bush on Hoedspruit’s first zipline — a compact two-hour adventure that pairs wildlife viewing with a dose of adrenaline.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy trainers or hiking shoes protect your feet on the quad and provide grip when mounting the bike and landing after the zipline.
Bring a refillable water bottle
Two hours in sun and dust calls for regular hydration—carry water and drink before you feel thirsty.
Secure cameras and phones
Use wrist straps or a zipped pocket; dust and jostling on the quad can easily fling loose gear.
Book a morning slot for wildlife viewing
Early rides are cooler and increase the chance of seeing grazers and birds before midday heat.
