Jozi Tree

$$Adventure
🕑 2.5 to 3 hours including safety briefing, equipment setup, and completing 2-3 courses👶 Best for ages 6 and up. Younger children (ages 6-8) can tackle easier courses with supervision, while older kids and teens love the challenging obstacles and longer zip lines. Minimum height restrictions typically apply (around 1.1-1.2 meters), so very young children may not meet safety requirements.

About

Jozi Tree offers an exhilarating treetop adventure in the heart of Gauteng, where families can navigate suspended obstacle courses, soar through the canopy on zip lines, and test their balance on aerial trails. This outdoor adventure park provides a perfect blend of physical challenge and nature immersion, with courses designed for various skill levels so everyone from cautious beginners to confident climbers can join the fun.

Highlights

  • Multiple zip lines ranging from beginner to advanced that let kids fly through the trees
  • Suspended rope bridges and swinging obstacles that challenge balance and coordination
  • Tarzan swings and cargo nets that make kids feel like jungle adventurers
  • Self-clipping safety system on easier courses that gives older kids independence
  • Shaded forest canopy setting that feels worlds away from the city

Pro Tips

  1. 1.Book online in advance, especially during South African school holidays, as time slots fill quickly and walk-ins may face long waits
  2. 2.Wear closed-toe athletic shoes (required for safety), comfortable clothes you can move in, and bring sunscreen as much of the course is exposed to sun
  3. 3.Arrive 30 minutes before your booked time slot to complete safety briefings and harness fittings without feeling rushed
  4. 4.Bring insect repellent during summer months, and check weather forecasts as courses close during lightning or heavy rain
  5. 5.The Fourways area has good restroom facilities and a cafe on site, but pack snacks and water bottles as activities can take 2-3 hours and kids burn lots of energy

Best Time to Visit

Visit on weekday mornings (9-11am) for smallest crowds and cooler temperatures. South African autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November) offer ideal weather, avoiding the intense summer heat and afternoon thunderstorms. Weekend mornings book up fast with local families.

What to Know

Prices are moderate (around 300-500 South African Rand per person depending on course level, approximately 15-25 USD). Parking is available on site. No outside food allowed on courses for safety, but the cafe serves kid-friendly meals and snacks.

Seasonal Notes

Open year-round, but summer afternoons (December to February) can bring sudden thunderstorms that cause temporary closures. Winter mornings (June to August) can be chilly, so bring layers. Book well ahead during South African school holidays (April, July, September-October, December).

Nearby Eats

Montecasino, just 5 minutes away, has numerous family restaurants including Ocean Basket for seafood and Mugg & Bean for casual dining. Fourways Mall food court offers quick international options like Nando's (peri-peri chicken) and Steers (South African burger chain).
