Here is the list of some of the best zip lining locations in Kenya. Kenya is known for so many tourist attraction sites and one of the things that excite both local and international tourist is zip lining which is not common in most places. Zip lining wasn’t well embraced in Kenya until some decades back and it has grown with time and now it’s one of the most valued fun activities around the country.
Zip linings are normally established in a well-V-shaped valley with a perfect aerial view of beautiful sceneries. To be sincere zip lining is somehow scary and fun, if a friend tags you better have that courage to ride on a steel cable.
