Unleash your wild side at Go Ape SA in Modderfontein

There is almost nothing as thrilling as being as close to nature as possible and manoeuvring yourself expertly through trees and obstacles. No, you're not only going to experience this vicariously through jungle movies and in your dreams, you can be the main character at Go Ape SA. 
 
What is the Go Ape SA experience? 
 
Imagine the ultimate fun outing that you can participate in no matter your age. You can hang out with a group of your friends, loved ones or colleagues and move through the different courses safely attached to a harness. There are different levels of courses and useful bridges that help you cross from platform to platform with ease. The towering trees at the facility are well looked after and operations run with little to zero environmental impact. Located in the popular town of Modderfontein, the facility is easily accessible and open to all. 
 
Safety first 
 
The Go Ape SA team prides itself on meeting international standards of safety and reliability. The safety equipment is of the highest imported German quality and they guarantee that no participant will get injured or risk falling off one of the bridges or platforms. There is a thorough safety demonstration before participants begin the courses and the guides are on hand at all times for assistance. 
 
Each individual will be locked into a harness of their own size which can only be removed at the end of the course duration by one of the guides, using a specialised key. The safety rules are in place to protect everyone and it's important they are adhered to at all times to ensure that the facility can provide the best possible experience for all.

For kids' parties, large groups and corporate events, you can arrange party packs filled with goodies the kids will love and food that's light and wholesome. Select from food platters of tapas, burgers, wings and other easy-to-eat, handheld items. The food platter options are also available in Italian pizzas and paninis.

The meals are authentic, freshly made and pack a punch of flavour. 
 
Discounts can be arranged with prior agreements for different packages depending on your group's requirements and which day you visit. 
 
Bungee jumping is an adrenaline-filled experience that you can fulfil at Go Ape SA with all of the safety measures in place.
