Adventure Zone Cullinan’s head office is located in the diamond mining town of Culllinan, north-west of Pretoria. However, their thrilling zipline tour, known as the Gorgeglide Cullinan, is located on the beautiful Muningi Gorge just outside of town.
Essentially, think of a zipline or canopy tour as a twenty-first century foefie slide. However, it is faster, safer, longer and a lot scarier than the old wire-across-the-river-and-jump-before-you-hit-the-pole type of fun!
A huge amount of attention is given to safety and to the location of the cabling. The scenery in every one of the canopy tours and ziplines featured in our article is beautiful.

Hanro Davel, the owner of Adventure Zone Cullinan, says; “We bring you extreme ziplining as you always imagined it should be; fast, long, high and exciting. What makes us unique is that the Gorgeglide Cullinan offers one of the longest single ziplines in South Africa at 570 meters and it is also one of the fastest at 128km/h.”
The introduction, equipment fitting and training brief at Adventure Zone Cullinan, take place at a hut on the banks of the Malan Spruit. From here, guests are transported to the start of the zipline trail.
The entire experience takes two hours and does require a bit of walking and the climbing of the four steel towers from which the ziplines are launched.
The first of the routes, affectionately known as ‘Skidmarks’, is 330 meters long and this is followed by the ‘Horse Shoe’ – also 330 meters long.
Before launching on the ‘Granny’ – at 265 meters, guests are given a chance to rest and drink some water. The last blast is known as ‘Superman’ and is 570 meters long.
“We cater for individual adrenaline seekers, corporate functions, school groups and team building. This is the safest, craziest, most exciting extreme activity out there. Be aware that we have a weight restriction of 40kg-120 kg,” concludes Hanro.
