Canopy tours originated in the lush rainforests of Costa Rica where adventurous biologists, desperate to study the diversity of animal life that habituates the upper canopy level of forests, devised a system of cables and platforms that would allow them to explore this previously inaccessible ecosystem. It wasn’t long before this developed into a breathtaking eco-tourism activity that not only allowed people to enter and experience the upper realm of a rainforest, but raised awareness of the plight and beauty of the world’s endangered indigenous forests. What to Expect The Canopy Tour starts with a safety briefing at the canopy office. Here your guides will first demonstrate how to slide on the cables and the safety procedures to be followed on the tour, before kitting you up with full body harness, pulley, climbing equipment and safety helmet. At Canopy Tours® South Africa we are proud to work closely with the communities within which we operate. Each Canopy Tour® site is located in rural areas where we have helped to uplift local communities by training locals to become guides; thereby providing a vital source of income and employment. Frequently Asked Questions We welcome any questions you might have before you book […]

WE ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT WHAT WE DO…. Froggie Shoes are made with a difference. With so many shoes being imported from other countries…probably one of our most important differences is that our shoes are made in South Africa, by South Africans, especially for the South African Woman’s Foot! (research conducted by Froggie in conjunction with the University of Johannesburg shows that the South African woman’s foot is different in size to that of Women’s feet in other countries). We constantly strive to bring consumers the latest in innovative shoe technology. The following range of comfort features are another reason our shoes are such a dream to wear: Rigid, inflexible soles have been proven to cause damage to the foot. The Flex Technology Comfort Feature in Froggie Shoes ensures that they FLEX, MOULD and MOVE with your feet making them exceedingly comfortable to walk in. Our under-foot foam ensures superior cushioning and support to the contours of the foot, with the added benefit of a soft and “perfect fit” experience. Our leathers are put through tumbling processes in order to create a soft and “wear-friendly” product. We are proud of the variety of textures and colours that we can offer. This […]
