Height and weight restrictions are activity-specific. Ballooning, zip-lining, bungee jumping, horse riding and some boat or aircraft operations may have limits set by the specialist operator.

Are there height restrictions?

Height restrictions are uncommon for ordinary game drives, but they can apply to adventure activities, rides, climbing courses or safety equipment. The operator responsible for the activity sets the rule.

If a child's height may affect participation, provide the age and approximate height before booking. Do not rely on a general destination description when safety equipment is involved.

Are there weight restrictions?

Weight restrictions can apply to light aircraft, zip lines, horse riding, boats and other specialist activities. The limit is usually linked to safety, equipment or aircraft loading rather than a judgement about the traveller.

Share relevant information privately during planning when an activity has a stated limit. For bush flights, baggage weight is often a separate issue from passenger weight and should also be confirmed.

Check changeable information close to travel

Opening hours, supplier facilities, entry rules and activity availability can change. Reconfirm important details before departure.

Keep the latest itinerary and contact information available offline so you are not dependent on mobile data during the journey.

What this means for your itinerary

The restriction is usually linked to equipment fit, safety or aircraft balance rather than discrimination.

The exact place and supplier matter

A general answer can point you in the right direction, but facilities and rules vary between parks, hotels and activity operators. Use the confirmed itinerary when a detail matters to your decision.

Ask early about anything essential for accessibility, diet, children, photography or work. It is easier to choose the right service than to fix a mismatch after arrival.

Before you book or travel

  • Confirm essential details for the exact destination or supplier.
  • Keep the latest itinerary and contact information available offline.
  • Raise accessibility, dietary or special-interest needs early.
  • Allow enough time between activities and transfers.
