Just five kilometres outside Caledon in the Western Cape is the ultimate thrill with SA Forest Adventures’s new K3 Zipline, officially the longest in the world.
Donald Sutherland dead at 88, Vodacom CEO kisses R28 million goodbye, US rapper Travis Scott arrested, DA suspends Renaldo Gouws, and World’s longest zipline to open up in the Western Cape.

A tour operator in Nepal calling itself ‘ZipFlyer’ claims to run the world’s fastest zip-line, a 1.8km line that drops 600m, attaining speeds of 160 kmph.
