Orlando, in the heart of Soweto, is one of South Africa’s most iconic townships — a place where history, culture, and adventure come together in an unforgettable way. Known worldwide for its role in the struggle for freedom, Orlando is home to Vilakazi Street, the only street in the world where two Nobel Peace Prize winners once lived. But beyond its powerful past, Orlando is alive with vibrant energy and modern-day activities that make it a standout destination for adventure seekers.
Here, you can dive into township cycling tours that take you along bustling streets filled with music, street art, and local flavour. For a surge of adrenaline, the Orlando Towers are unmissable — an iconic landmark offering bungee jumping, abseiling, paintball, and even SCAD freefall. These colourful cooling towers, now symbols of Soweto, have been transformed into one of South Africa’s most unique adventure hubs.
