Need to tap into your inner Tarzan \u2026 or Jane? Zip lining Tsitsikamma Canopy<\/a>. That\u2019s the<\/em> way to check out this primeval forest near South Africa\u2019s southern coast. Dangling, zapping, whooshing 30m to 50m up in the air on Africa\u2019s first zip line<\/a>. You\u2019re gliding – at what sometimes feel like nano-fast speed – on a super-strong steel cable and, boy, does it love going downhill. Apart from accelerating along 10 zip lines (the longest is over 100m), there\u2019ll be walking in between them on 10 platforms. And as schmick and safe as you\u2019ll find in any first-world country. This is a mega-award-winning eco-wilderness adventure tour. That\u2019s got to be good.<\/p>\n

From up there, you\u2019ll get the avian acoustics plus a bird\u2019s eye view<\/a> of 116 massive tree species<\/a> including the amazing Outeniqua Yellowwood trees<\/a> \u2013 they\u2019re giants. They can live for more than 2,000 years and soar 50 metres up or even higher, says SA Forestry online<\/a>. Feel the vibe of the past by standing on the boardwalk next to \u2018The Big Tree\u2019. It\u2019s 36.6m tall and was just a sapling circa 1218. Only a fraction of the original forest tracts remains. In the past, the timber from these gorgeous trees was good for poles, furniture, construction, wood carving and door panelling, but they\u2019re a protected species now. A bird, the Knysna Turaco, feeds on its fruit, scattering the seeds around the forest. A nifty two-way beneficial relationship there. It\u2019s one of the 35 bird species found there.<\/p>\n

The lowdown on Tsitsikamma<\/a><\/h2>\n

Tsitsikamma Canopy is in the Tsitsikamma national. We\u2019re zero-ing in on the the Tsitsikamma forest (do it by drone here<\/a>), which smothers the Outeniqua Mountains.<\/a> High points include the 1,578m Craddock Peak and George Peak at 1,370m. Yes, it can snow there in winter as the temp sometimes drops to 5o<\/sup>C or less, but summer averages 20.5o<\/sup>C. The weather can be unpredictable.<\/p>\n

\"\"

The name, Tsitsikamma, by the way, comes from the Khoekhoe language and means \u2018place of much water\u2019. You might have thought the name is linked to the infamous \u2018tsetse fly\u2019<\/a>, common in tropical Africa and which causes sleeping sickness in humans, but nup, no apparent connection there.<\/p>\n

Speaking of humans, you\u2019ll find mostly retirees or forestry workers in the Storms River Village, in the foothills of the Tsitsikamma mountain range. It\u2019s the gateway to the national park \u2013 and the canopy. This village was a base for hunters\u2019 lodges from the mid-1800s and woodcutters from the late 1800s, while now it\u2019s a town with a tourist bent. Attractions include a suspension bridge<\/a> over the Storms River mouth, which offers smackingly good views of the coast along the Indian Ocean. The river and its gorges are amazing to explore on a kayak or lilo<\/a>, generally costing about $AUD60 for a tour.<\/p>\n

Options to ground yourself<\/h2>\n

\u2018Fraid of heights? Not a problem. The famous Tsitsikamma National Park<\/a> has oodles of appeal being part of the Garden Route National Park<\/a>, a patchwork of protected areas spanning 121,000 hectares all linked under a management plan. It includes wet, medium-moist and dry high forest. For starters, there\u2019s 1km boardwalk, a decent choice of hiking trails, many don\u2019t-lose-your-footing gorges, bungy jumping off Bloukrans River Bridge<\/a> (about $AUD100), the Otter Trail (got to be fit to do that one \u2013 takes five days and four nights so restricted<\/a> those aged 12 to 65 and you need to pay Sanparks<\/a> a tariff when you book<\/a>), diving with the Great White Sharks, and lush forests where you might bump into the odd bush pig, vervet monkey, genets, blue Duiker or leopard (rare, though, so here<\/a> are South Africa\u2019s top 10 places to see them). Tsitsikamma offers a lot. The park takes in 80km of coast line including a marine reserve on the Indian Ocean where may even glimpse whales and dolphins. Oh, and this is dark sky country so soak in the sparkling show of constellations with this winter sky time lapse<\/a>. Still not hooked? See the Crowded Planet\u2019s blog<\/a> for more ideas, or elope there like this couple<\/a> did.<\/p>\n

Tour away<\/h2>\n

The Tsitsikamma Canopy Tour<\/a>, the name, is actually trademarked by this tour company<\/a>, which built it in 2001 and is based in Storms River. The zip lining tour<\/a> includes light snacks, two guides, a certificate and some walking \u2013 takes up to three hours and will operate in pretty much all weather. For each person, it costs about $AUD70, which isn\u2019t bad considering zip lining on Australia\u2019s eastern coast it\u2019s usually $75 for not quite that long. The Tsitsikamma Canopy tour is open for people aged seven to 70, but not for pregnant women nor for people over 120kg. For bragging power, you can even get a DVD with video and images of your conquest for about $AUD17. Feel good about taking a Tsitsikamma Canopy Tour<\/a> because it\u2019s a Fair Trade company, which means 47% of the profits support community projects. It\u2019s also an eco-friendly tour, so you\u2019ll find platforms built around the trees, so no nails hammered into the trunks. If you\u2019re up for a second zip line tour, add the Tsitsikamma Falls Adventures<\/a> to your itinerary \u2013 it\u2019s actually cheaper ($AUD43) than the canopy tours and the scenery packs a punch as it\u2019s not predominantly just forest. The longest zip line on the falls tour is more than 200 metres. And if you\u2019re not up to going solo on your zip line, tandem tours are fine \u2013 same for the canopy zipline tours.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Non-zip line tour options include the Tsitsikamma Woodcutters\u2019 Journey<\/a> (in a specially-designed vehicle you\u2019ll journey down the Old Stormsriver Pass, elephant trail, picnic near the river where woodcutters worked a century or more ago \u2013 three hour trip for about $AUD30). There are also guided hikes 12 routes<\/a>) maybe on segway if you like, water tubing<\/a>, or team building. You\u2019ll be down amongst tree ferns hundreds of years old. The quality of guides is pretty high in the region, they\u2019re knowledgeable and happy to be quizzed about the ecology. For the time-challenged, there\u2019s a day trip (costs about $AUD320) that you can do from Port Elizabeth to take in the highlights of Tsitsikamma National Park.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re probably getting the sense that checking out the Tsitsikamma Canopy isn\u2019t really budget travel \u2013 sure accommo and car rentals are reasonably priced, but once you start ticking organised activities off your list (apart from hiking), owch, that\u2019s budget-blowout time. Cheapest deals are usually staring you in the face from your backpacker hostel bulletin board. Cooking your own meals in your hostel will save you rand, but you can get breakfast, lunch and dinner for as little as $AUD16\/day in most backpacker accommodation. Allow yourself to be tempted by eateries, too, as restaurants often have $AUD8 steaks. Keep an eye on the Travelling Chill blog for dining-out options around the country. Here\u2019s<\/a> their tips on the seven most popular dishes.<\/p>\n

Your digs for the night\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Nearby towns on the coast are Knysna, Storms River Village, Plettenberg Bay and Sedgefield. An average a hotel in this region costs $AUD127 per night or a bed in a backpacker hostel about $AUD14 nightly and Airbnb has a greater variety. If you\u2019re using the village<\/a> as your base, budget options (from $AUD\u00a0 53 per night if you look at TripAdvisor) include DiJembe Backpackers\u2019 Lodge, Tsalanang Township Bed & Breakfast, Tsitsikamma Backpackers, Tube \u2018n\u2019 Axe Backpackers (more like a resort!), Pear Tree Cottage and Serenity Retreat. There are a handful of mid-range accommo options (up to $AUD100 per night) and only two high-end stays \u2013 The Armagh and Protea Hotel Tsitsikamma Village ($AUD100+ nightly). There\u2019s also Eesterivier, Oyster Bay, The Crags and Tsktsikamma \u2013 this website<\/a> will give you a lot of choices plus they have a Facebook page<\/a> to promote tourism in the region.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Good to know<\/h2>\n

Overall, the official advice is to exercise a high degree of caution, says Smartraveller<\/a>. Why? There\u2019s the high risk of serious crime, terrorism, theft from hotel rooms, sub-standard public transport plus the rate of HIV\/AIDS infections is huge. Transport can be tricky, too, with public transport sub-standard (particularly the minibus taxis) and at times violent tiffs between metered taxi and Uber drivers. What\u2019s serious, too, is the extreme drought and strict water conditions in the Western Cape including in Cape Town (check this site<\/a> for updates). But where there\u2019s water, there could be wildlife. You risk getting attacked by wildlife or catching a water-borne disease (such as bilharzia<\/a> aka snail fever) in lakes and rivers in some areas. Health issues across the country include malaria, cholera, Yellow Fever (you\u2019ll need a vaccination certification if you\u2019ve come from a WHO-listed<\/a> yellow fever endemic country or region), drug-resistant tuberculosis, hepatitis, measles, rabies, Rift Valley Fever<\/a> and typhoid. Avoid eating unpasteurised or unhomogenised milk or raw meat. Yup, and the Indian Ocean (that nudges Tsitsikamma area) is prone to \u201cmore frequent, large and destructive tsunamis\u201d that elsewhere \u2013 got to do with the earthquakes in the area, says Smartraveller<\/a>. Keep up with the South African media here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re travelling with children, you\u2019ll need to carry their full birth certificate as well as their passport. If only one parent is travelling with a child, there are more conditions \u2013 check out the details here<\/a>. US, Canadian and Australian citizens won\u2019t need a visa to get into South Africa if they\u2019re travelling for 90 days or less. Apply in person at your nearest South African consulate for your visa.<\/p>\n

Grab your passport \u2013 now what?<\/h2>\n

Cape Town International Airport should be your initial destination \u2013 it\u2019s the busiest in the country and gives you that stunning view of Table Mountain and Cape Peninsula before you land. (We usually use webjet<\/a>, cheapoair<\/a> or momondo<\/a> to book our flights online). You can reach the canopy by driving eastish\u00a0 from Cape Town along the N2 highway (about six hours) or west from Port Elizabeth (three hours from the airport). Flying in closer\u2019s another option \u2013 go to the town of George and hire a car there. Otherwise, the main bus companies stop in Storms River\u2019s petrol station doing the Cape Town to Port Elizabeth run. That station is only five kilometres from Storm River Village, but that leg will set you back just over $AUD5 to get there if you ask one of the village\u2019s establishments for transport. Save your rand by taking a public bus from Knysna to Port Elizabeth in the morning (which returns to Knysna in the afternoon). You can hop off just north of Storms River West (the village) on the N2 and it\u2019s only a short stroll to that town. Costs just over $AUD6. Solo travellers can go for the Baz Bus, a hop-on, hop-off backpacker bus. Buy a pass for a set time or do non-time limited hop on and off, but that\u2019s only in one direction. It\u2019s a bit pricey, but see which ticket suits you here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"

If your budget allows, go for car hire as it\u2019s good value, particularly if you\u2019re travelling in a group. Just say you\u2019re going for three weeks around South Africa, if you have up to five in your group, it could be just $AUD276 each for three weeks. Add to that your petrol costs, of course.<\/p>\n

To get into a national park, one idea for travellers planning to loll about while is to buy a Wild Card. It gives you unlimited access to most of Southern Africa\u2019s conservation areas and is valid for a year, but you\u2019ll pay (about $AUD350) four times as much as a local to buy it. You can\u2019t buy it online before you arrive as the Sanparks<\/a> organisation wants a South African ID. Best bet, we heard, was to buy one at the Buffelsfontein Visitors\u2019 Centre. Otherwise you could chance it with the daily conservation and entry fees \u2013 keep up to date with the charges on this site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Best time to go<\/h2>\n

Like seeing the lilac keurboom trees in bloom? Mark September in your diary. But if that\u2019s not a go-er, this destination is good year round. Good idea to book well ahead if you\u2019re planning to travel during the busy season in December-January. Otherwise, still consider booking in advance to get onto the zip line. Scope your South African adventure with this basic map, this<\/a> slightly more detailed one, or Sanparks<\/a>\u2019 one and an interactive one<\/a>. You\u2019d want a minimum of two nights in the Tsitsikamma region including your canopy tour.<\/p>\n

What to pack<\/h2>\n

The best attire for explore the canopy is long shorts or pants, T-shirts\/tops you can tuck in (more comfy if you\u2019re wearing a zip line harness), plenty of insect repellent, sunscreen, decent hiking shoes and a hat. Changeable weather in the mountains means you\u2019ll need some warmer gear, too. Check with your tour company that they\u2019ll provide rain gear if it\u2019s wet. Swimmers \u2018n towel are a must because, according to the site southafrica.net, there are \u201clagoons and strings of shining lakes begging to be explored by canoe\u201d as well as the beaches. Sounds active? Yes, you\u2019ll need an average level of fitness for this trip \u2013 some of us found the walk back on the canopy tour a bit hard going and long.<\/p>\n

Sound good?<\/h2>\n

Take a sound bath with this link<\/a> \u2013 no talking, just the sounds of the Tsitsikamma forest. No guarantee you\u2019ll hear chest-pounding here Tarzan-style, but maybe that\u2019s your cameo role?<\/p>\n\n\n
