Excursion Ziplining and nature walk - moderate option tour at East London

Experience a hike through a game reserve and a thrilling zipline flight over the tree canopy of a private game reserve on this full-day (four hours) adventure.

Embark from the pier and board your coach for the 50-minute drive to the Areena Riverside Resort. Drive along Oxford Street, passing the City Hall, built in 1897 during Queen Victoria's reign. See the statue of the martyred activist, Stephen Biko, that graces the building today. Continue past the East London Museum, established in 1921, that is home to many fine exhibits. During the drive-by tour, learn a bit about East London's founding.

Arrive at the Areena Resort Adventure Centre and receive a welcome drink and your souvenir bandana. Listen to a brief introduction to your upcoming activities that take place within a private game park, overlooking the beautiful Kwelera River, Leopard Koof and Areena Valley.

Set out on a scenic hike (45-60 minutes) to the first zipline platform through the game reserve along animal tracks. Look out for Zebra, Blesbuck, Giraffe, Impala and Nyala. Learn some interesting facts from your guide regarding the animals, birds, wild medicinal plants, and the river ecosystem.

Once you arrive at the zipline platform, receive a safety briefing and get kitted up in your harness and headgear. Choose from four ziplines of different lengths and heights and experience that adrenaline-pumping, flying feeling as you zip over the treetops below.

Get your land legs under and climb aboard an open safari vehicle for a two-kilometer drive back to the Adventure Centre. Enjoy refreshments and a delicious South African Braai (BBQ) lunch.

Taking bandana and your sense of adventure with you, reboard your coach for the drive back to the pier by way of the residential suburbs of East London.
