Welcome to Ceres Zipslide Adventures!

We offer the best Zipline Tour in Africa. Come and experience this 1,4km of pure adrenalin Eco Adventure, consisting of 8 slides varying from 100-290m in length. This Eco-Adventure is safe, fast and long. The tour takes place in the Schurweberg Mountains below the Koekedouw Dam in Ceres.

The Zipslide Tour is the ideal breakaway for your company’s team building or year-end function. A load of family fun and an ideal activity for an awesome bachelors or birthday party.

SAFETY
We pride ourselves on our safety due to the quality of our installations, the equipment that we use and our professional guides. Furthermore, there are strict criteria set by the Insurance Companies which we have to abide by. We are also one of the only companies in the world to have our own patented zip line braking systems. “Foefie Brake©” & “Foefie Stop©”.

*Note that under no circumstances patrons are allowed to handle any equipment*

HOW LONG DOES THE TOUR TAKE?
The average group size of 8 people takes about 1hour to 1hour 15 min. Note that this might vary due to factors such as:

When accommodating very large groups 50+ people.
The number of children in the group.
The number of parents and children sliding in Tandem.
Persons in the group with a fear of heights.
When raining it takes time to dry the rain suits.

Zipliners are transported from our offices into the mountain with our “Zipline taxi/bus”
It is a short (5km) drive down the main road and through suburban Ceres and then up into the mountain.
The bus will then transport you back to our office upon completion of the Zipline Tour.

SPECTATORS

Please note that the road leading up to the Ziplines is not accessible with your own vehicle.
This is a restricted access road and not a public road.
The Ziplines are located in the Ceres Nature Reserve and public access is only by foot.
Guests not participating are welcome to wait at the office or enjoy refreshments at the coffee shop/deli next door (for your own account)

Spectators are welcome to drive to the entrance (4km from our office), park there and walk up to the Ziplines.
The first part of the road is gravel and then it is a tarred road. The complete walk to the starting point is about 2,5 km uphill and downhill. The spectators would have to go ahead of the departing group as it may take a while for them to walk up to the starting point.
