PICS: Ziplining in the valleys of Table Mountain


Cape Town - A new zipline, or foofy-slide, recently opened to the public on the quaint, family-owned Silver Mist Estate in Constantia Nek, Cape Town. 

Adventure seekers can now glide over the scenic valleys of the beautiful Constantia Nek area on Table Mountain, which also forms part of the Table Mountain Reserve.

The zipline is built to be one of the best and most adventurous in South Africa yet. It hangs up to 155 meters above the tree canopy below and stretches over 2,3km. The longest zipline cable on the route is 470 meters.
