The decommissioned cooling towers in Soweto were originally built for the Orlando Power Station, but are now the surface of South Africa’s largest mural and and the ultimate spot for bungee jumping at Soweto Towers.

Bungee Jumping at Soweto Towers: What to expect

Guests are harnessed by a guide and then lifted in an open-air elevator to a height of 97m. A floating staircase takes guests to the final 3m to the 100m viewing deck with a 360º view across the horizon. Guests have one of two choices: bungee jump from the suspension bridge or SCAD free fall from the world’s highest free fall.

Other adventures include climbing, paint-balling and base jumping. Note that there are no bookings – operators work on a first-come first-served basis.
