Wild Africa Trek for Pooh-Sized Guests?

[maddiezoots]

We would like to book the Wild Africa Trek, but I am 5'1" and 260. The weight limit is 300. Will the harnesses they have fit me? The website says something like "safety harnesses may not fit all body sizes and shapes." Would love to hear personal experiences! I don't want to book this and get there and not be able to fit into the harness.

We went. My dh is 5'7" 205 lbs and it fit him.

If you call, you may be able get someone to give you the dimensions of the harness (measuring around the chest would be particularly useful). People carry their weight in different places, so even if someone else is also 5'1' and 260, their experience might not match yours.

I agree with Magpie. I would call and ask, give them your measurements, especially around the chest and hips, and around your thigh (measure similarly to how your underwear line would hit at the top of your leg, kind of up and around at an angle if that makes sense).

I would call....We zip lined a couple years ago and I was well within the weight limit but I think because I'm shorter it caused the harness to fit on my thighs weird. It was hard to imagine someone much bigger fitting in that sucker...And I agree with the pp, measure it like how your underwear fit.
