“Cape Canopy Tour gave us an unforgettable experience in the Hottentots Holland Mountains. This is one of my top three favourite ziplines in South Africa! The staff are professional and very knowledgeable about the nature reserve. The guides have had years of experience in the reserve, and it shows. I would highly recommend it to anyone, even if scared of heights. The guides ensure proper processes are followed and put you at ease, allowing you to soak up the beautiful surroundings.”   Abduraghmaan Van Oordt

Our tour guides were amazing and added humour to our morning while helping those with a fear of heights get through it. I highly recommend doing this.”  Jodie Pienaar

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s Superman strolling the streets of Cleveland (photos)

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Superman is ready for his Cleveland closeup. David Corenswet, the actor portraying Clark Kent in the new “Superman” movie currently filming in Downtown Cleveland, arrived on set early Monday morning to shoot scenes along a closed section of Superior Avenue that’s been prepped for days to be transformed into Metropolis.

Corenswet was seen dressed in a black cape strolling along the street and checking out the set, which is strewn with prop rubble and wrecked cars, and appears to be ready for shooting an explosive action scene. If you look closely, you can see the collar of his Superman suit underneath the cape.

Earlier, Lois Lane actress Rachel Brosnahan arrived on set under the cover of umbrellas, shielding her identity from the crowd of onlookers hoping to get a glimpse of the production.

Director James Gunn appeared around 9:30 a.m. to go over the scene with crew members and background actors dressed in military gear. Another set of extras then took their places for a rehearsal on a futuristic-style staircase connected to a platform draped in a blue screen, indicating it would be later replaced with CGI.

This reboot of “Superman” focuses on a younger version of the Man of Steel than DC’s previous franchise with Henry Cavill. In addition to Corenswet and Brosnahan, the cast features Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor and Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific.

“Superman” flies into theaters July 11, 2025.
