Affordable places to Zipline

Experience A Touch of the Exotic: Ziplining in Kenya

Zip lining is One of the most exhilarating experiences to ever have. Apart from the heart-racing adrenaline rush, you just let go and scream your fears and troubles away. Zip lining helps improve long-distance vision and gives flyers a sharper vision. It also reduces blood pressure thus keeping the heart on the check.
Note: This is an activity that requires you to be fearless and dress appropriately. It is encouraged that any person planning to go zip lining be in trousers and wear comfy shoes. Trousers are encouraged so as to make the harness strapping process easier.
Zip lining has slowly picked up the pace and the locations have now increased making it easy for people to choose locations that better suit their pockets. There are quite a number of several places in Kenya where one can go for affordable zip lining in Kenya as listed below.
