Overview

About this experience

The Orlando Towers are Soweto's most recognisable landmark: two decommissioned cooling towers, one covered in the largest mural in South Africa, with a suspension bridge strung between them 100 metres up.

Jump off it, swing off it, or simply take the lift up for the view — then head to a shisa nyama, where you choose your meat at the counter, watch it hit the grill and eat it at a long table with the neighbourhood.

Highlights

  • 100 m bungy jump or power swing between the Orlando Towers
  • Free-fall abseil and SCAD alternatives available
  • Viewing deck for non-jumpers
  • Shisa nyama lunch at a Soweto institution
  • Guided walk through Orlando East
