Selwo Adventure has the longest fixed zip-wire in Europe: Ziwa is a permanent zip-wire of 116 metres length,enabling the visitor to slide down whilst enjoying a bird.s eye view of the great Lake of Africa, located in Nature.s Portico, the first of the routes at Selwo Adventure.
Ziwa, "flying over the lake" in Swahili, reaches a maximum speed of 14,8 metres per second and has a drop of 13 metres. The new zip-wire at Selwo Adventure has its starting point in the area to the north of the Lake of Africa, next to the Canyon of the Birds, where there is a specially designed turret from which intrepid explorers begin their very special "flight" during which they slide down the wire whilst enjoying a bird.s eye view of the great Lake of Africa and the lush vegetation surrounding it. The journey ends on the arrival platform in the southern area of the Lake, very close to the Park's Primates Walk.
Ziwa is designed for all members of the public to be able to participate as there are no special physical requirements apart from needing to weigh a minimum of 25 kilos.
