Cool Runnings, Africa's first downhill tobogganing track . Go hurtling down a half-pipe in a bobsled, flying through the twists and curves as you race along the 1. 25 km track. It's fun, it's fast, and it's safe! The first downhill tobogganing track in Africa, Cool Runnings is a Cape Town-based family park boasting an intricate course of steel tracks and top-notch, wheeled bobsleds. It's fun for kids and adults, and it's completely safe and the combination of speed and skill makes it a thrilling challenge for even the most die-hard speed freak. Starting at the foot Durbanville's slopes, you settle into your toboggan and set off as the cables in the tracks haul you to the start of the course (a relief for anyone thinking they'd have to climb the hill every time! ) .
