BASE Jumping in Orlando

The Boldest Leap from the Towers

For seasoned thrill-seekers chasing the ultimate rush, Orlando Towers in Soweto offers one of the boldest adventures in South Africa — BASE jumping. Famous for its striking murals and rich township culture, the twin cooling towers are more than a landmark; they’re a launchpad for extreme athletes ready to leap into the void.

BASE (Building, Antenna, Span, Earth) jumping is one of the most daring sports in the world, and few places compare to taking that leap in the heart of Soweto. Standing high above the city on the suspension bridge between the towers, jumpers launch themselves into open air, experiencing an intense freefall before deploying their parachutes and gliding safely down. The combination of height, setting, and the vibrant backdrop makes this a bucket-list experience like no other.

What sets BASE jumping at Orlando apart is not just the adrenaline, but the energy of its surroundings. The colourful towers, painted with artworks that celebrate Soweto’s culture, frame every jump with a sense of place and history. Below, the township buzzes with life, adding to the atmosphere and reminding adventurers that this is more than a sport — it’s part of a living, breathing community.

This activity is strictly for experienced jumpers who meet the safety requirements, but for those who do, it’s one of the most unforgettable leaps on the continent. BASE jumping in Orlando is a rare and electrifying adventure that captures the essence of freedom and fearlessness.
