Canopy Walkway - Walk Above the Trees



In Cape Town, South Africa there is a Canopy walkway that lets you walk above the trees and into the clouds. The Centenary Tree Canopy Walkway is a new curved steel and timber bridge that winds and dips its way through and over the trees of the Arboretum. Inspired by a snake skeleton, and informally called ‘The Boomslang‘ (meaning tree snake), it is a low-maintenance, low-impact sculptural raised walkway.

This walkway is 130 m long, narrow and slender, with a few wider view-point areas, and lightly snakes its way through the canopy, in a discreet, almost invisible way. So when you’re traveling through South Africa, put this on your list!
