Ziplining Mabira Forest

Ziplining, often known as zip wire, is a recreational activity in which participants are attached by ropes in a pulley system from one place to another. This activity is located in Mabira Forest near Griffin Falls in Uganda and is run by the Uganda Engineers Registration Board and Insurance Corporation.

History of Ziplining

Ziplining started in China as a mode of transportation because of the high mountains and was eventually replaced by bridges. Donald Perry wanted to investigate the woodland in 1974, but he was unable to reach the entire area. Later on, he had an idea and connected the ropes to the trees to watch everything from above. It was also employed in the military to convey food and messages and to provide transportation.

How it’s done.

Climb up the tall tree known as Kirundi, which includes stairs or ladders; the first stop is 18 meters; the gear is linked to the cable; the element is worn for protection; the briefing is repeated; and the swing along the line to the next point after unbuckling and climbing down the tree.
