About Flightline at the Safari Park

Weight

  • Minimum 75 lbs
  • Maximum 250 lbs


  • Soar from a ridge-top along a cable gliding approximately 2/3 of a mile over exotic animals in the North America, Africa and Asia exhibits
  • Fly as high as 160 feet above the ground at approximately 50 miles per hour
  • Experience includes gear, an orientation, and a “fledgling” line to practice taking off from a platform and successfully landing. This first Flightline run is 470 feet long and whisks riders through fragrant, shady trees
  • Once “fledged,” guests board a truck for a ride to the upper launch area of our main Flightline. Along the way, guests hear about our condor conservation program
  • Guests arrive at Kilima Point where they return their gear and meet up with family and friends who did not participate in the tour.
