SCAD Freefall at Soweto Towers – Johannesburg

Take the ultimate leap of faith in Soweto with the SCAD Freefall at the iconic Soweto Towers. This is not just another adrenaline activity—it’s the only one of its kind in Africa, and one of only a handful worldwide. No bungee cord, no parachute—just you, freefalling into a suspended safety net.

Standing inside the famous Orlando Towers, you’ll be lifted to a platform high above the ground. Then, after a deep breath and a final look down, you’ll step off into nothingness. The sensation is pure freefall—fast, furious, and unlike anything else you’ve ever experienced. Seconds later, you land safely in the specially designed suspended net, your heart racing and adrenaline pumping.

The Soweto Towers themselves are a landmark, rising out of Johannesburg’s most vibrant township. Once cooling towers for a power station, they’ve been transformed into a colourful hub of adventure, painted with vivid murals that celebrate South African culture. Experiencing the SCAD Freefall here combines high-octane thrill with authentic Soweto atmosphere.

Perfect for thrill-seekers, urban adventurers, and anyone looking for a once-in-a-lifetime story to tell, the SCAD Freefall is an unforgettable way to push your limits. And if you’re not brave enough to jump, the Towers also offer other adventure activities and are a must-visit spot for photography, culture, and local food.

If you’re visiting Johannesburg, you haven’t truly experienced the city until you’ve stepped off the edge at the Soweto Towers SCAD Freefall.
