You step off a wooden platform and the forest answers: wind threads through eucalyptus, braches rock with the weight of a shy monkey, and below the canopy the valley exhales. The first line on the Kereita Zipline Adventure launches you over a slab of green that feels both infinite and intimate — a corridor of trees that has housed elephant, buffalo and the odd colobus for generations. For five hours you move like a bird between platforms, six lines culminating in a long, fast send that stretches nearly 2 km and leaves your pulse in an easy staccato.
