After getting 'geared up', we were taken to a 'practice' cable where one of the four young staff members demonstrated proper technique and safety while another gave us a well-thought-out lecture on the process and the many safety issues and techniques. The 'Zip Line' crew were all young men who were going to University and did this on the side to pay their tuition. They were all bright, athletic, well educated and spoke from workable to excellent English.

After the 'training session', they took us along a path up to the 'starting' platform. the path was a regular nature walk, and the young staff were excellent nature guides as well; giving us little side lectures on the flora and fauna of this region and pointing out special plants along the way.
