Around the Globe in Zip Lines
| August 25, 2017
Zip 2000
Zip 2000 is a zip line located in the adventure park Sun City, in South Africa. It’s one of the world’s fastest zip lines – the highest recorded speed reached on Zip 2000 was a record-breaking 115 mph. Many people enjoy the Zip 2000 zip line over others in the world because there’s no intense feeling of free-fall. The line accelerates quite naturally, and guests are also able to ride with a friend if they feel like sharing the fun.
Sun City is only about two hours outside of Johannesburg, and is right beside the Pilanesberg Game Reserve, so you can make a whole day, or even a weekend, out of adventuring in this area.
