Sure, you could take a regular walk in the woods, but why would you do that when you could walk ABOVE the trees? The Kirstenbosch Centenary Tree Canopy Walkway in Cape Town is a raised walkway that lets visitors see the forest and the trees the way a bird or a monkey might.
The canopy gracefully snakes its way along the treetops in the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden in South Africa. The walkway reaches a maximum height of 12 meters from the ground and only touches the ground twice. It has several observation points from which visitors can enjoy the surrounding view, but it also descends among the tree canopy in a few places so that they can enjoy the foliage as well.
The 427 ft walkway is open and involves no additional charge, so if you’re ever in South Africa, you should definitely consider paying the park a visit!

the more authentic Canopy walk is in Nyungwe National Park in Rwanda. Bored Panda check it out.

Well, if you're looking for a real and an original idea of a true Canopy Walkway, visit Kakum National Park in Cape Coast, Ghana. Awesomene
This walkway and the garden it is situated in one of the most beautiful gardens in the world. One of my favourite places.
I think that`s a walk I would enjoy taking. Too bad it`s so far away. Maybe we should get one or more in Canada!
Funny, I was thinking something similar- like when will the people/tourists start getting thrown off?
