They have done a great job tunring someting so Ugly into something bright, colourful and happy. The painings on the towers are cheerful and bring life and colour tothe environment. The towers are worth visiting but one does not need very long. It is possible to go Bungy Jumping from a bridge between the top of the towers, and there... More

All the locals I met only referred to it as Soweto Towers, so not sure who is behind this Orlando Towers thing. Anywho, it's a pretty chill place. Food is good (you pick the the chicken or meat that you want and they cook it right there) but is over priced. Their specialty is pap and it is good. There... More

If you are into this kind of things, Orlando Towers is a must. The place you jump is definitely far from ordinary. I did the bungee jump and it cost about R500 with the photos, so it is not expensive. Generally people were friendly and they were looking like they know what they are doing. Only guys who are doing... More

The main reason for a visit to Orlando Towers is the adrenaline rush of Bungee Jumping / Power Swinging or other vertical adventures on offer by the operators. After a self-drive visit with some British friends through Soweto & Kliptown, that included Vilakazi Street, Regina Mundi Church and Walter Sisulu Square we thought we would finish off the day with...

We ate and drank at Chaf-Pozi on the way to the Boks v All Blacks match and had mixed experiences. Being in Soweto under the Orlando towers, it is a unique location and much better than a bar to enjoy the pre-match warm up. The atmosphere was raucous and very lively and people were very much crammed in eating production... More
