The walkway also touches the ground at two points.
There are numerous observation deck areas where the space is expanded for people to stop and enjoy the surroundings.
The walkway is constructed out of curved steel and timber and is built through the trees and over them.
The walkway is a part of the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden and can be visited for no additional costs.
The garden was the first in the world to be included as a Natural World Heritage Site.
The garden spans over 89 acres and was created in 1913.
The walkway was then built to celebrate the 100th anniversary in 2013, with plans beginning in 2012.
The walkway gives a view of the mountains you truly can't enjoy without the extra elevation.
The walkway is often referred to as "The Boomslang" meaning tree snake.
The walkway was officially opened on May 17, 2014 to the public.
