The Viewing Lift, a first-of-its-kind experience in Africa, invites you to descend 51 metres into the heart of the ancient Afromontane Forest.
This glass-fronted elevator provides stunning vistas of the Drakensberg Escarpment as you gently glide down the cliff face. Accessible to all, including wheelchair users, the one-minute ride offers a smooth and comfortable descent.
Embrace the fresh air and lush greenery as you enter the vibrant forest below. Be in awe of the engineering feat behind the Lift, with its impressive 240 tons of concrete foundation and 88 tons of steel shaft ensuring a safe and secure experience.
More than just a ride, the Viewing Lift is a gateway to exploration. Begin your adventure today!
