Soar above it all.
Flightline Safari is the ultimate recreational experience for those looking for excitement.
Secure and comfortable in your harness, you will soar as high as 130 feet above the ground with rhinos, giraffe, and more in the fields below you.
The Flightline experience includes the use of safety equipment, an orientation, a brief interpretive tour, and a flight on our two ziplines.
The first zipline is the Fledgling run.
It is approximately 400 feet long and carries you through fragrant, shady trees to prepare you for your final Flightline experience.
Once "fledged," you board a Flightline truck for a guided tour to the upper launch area of our main Flightline.
Upon arriving at the final launch platform, you will have breath taking views of the San Diego Zoo Safari Park and of the large animal enclosures below.
Your guide will once again hook your harness onto the Flightline "trolley" and you're ready to fly approxiamately 2/3 of a mile, landing safely near our campground at the Park's Kilima Point.
