The two colourful cooling towers that rise out of the ground in Soweto are the largest landmarks in the area, and Orlando Towers uses them to its advantage by throwing people off the top of them – attached to rubber cords, of course. The company offers a range of terror-inducing activities, including traditional bungee jumping, power swinging, internal swinging and abseiling – anything, in fact, that will turn your skin from boring beige to gross green. The less adventurous can, however, take the lift to the top for stunning 360-degree views of Soweto. Sometimes it’s better to watch.
