Year-round; the forest is greenest and mistiest in summer (Nov–Mar)
The Magoebaskloof Canopy Tour runs high in the Woodbush indigenous forest, between the villages of Haenertsburg and Tzaneen in Limpopo. Over roughly two to two and a half hours, guided groups descend through the treetops on a course of 13 platforms linked by 11 zip-lines — the longest reaching about 150 metres — along with a suspension bridge.
The route follows the Groot Letaba River gorge, passing three waterfalls that drop up to 20 metres to the river below. It is an accessible, family-friendly way to experience an Afromontane forest that most visitors never see from ground level.
