The Syringa Park Course at a Glance
The key facts are in the table below.
Which Acrobranch Course in Johannesburg Is Right for You?
The right course depends on age and height, and the Syringa Park courses run from Yellow for ages 3 to 6 up to Red for ages 9 and over. Use the table to check your child, then the list below to match the course to the person.
Prices last checked 23 October 2026. Combos are covered under prices below.
- Ages 3 to 6: Acro-twigs has 17 obstacles and is supervised by trained safety instructors. No height limit is listed, and whether an adult can go along isn't stated, so ask the bookings office before you book.
- First-timers aged 7 and over: Monkey Moves is the beginners course, with 20 aerial obstacles. It has the lowest price and the lowest height limit of the main courses.
- Nervous climbers: book Monkey Moves on its own and add the Big Zip once you know how you feel.
- Teens: Swinging Tarzan is the moderate course, with 18 obstacles that include swinging, climbing and crawling. It gets gradually harder, and it suits anyone 7 or older who is 1.3 m or taller.
- Adults and couples: all three main courses list ages "to adult". Book the same course and the same slot so you start together.
- Thrill-seekers: High Flying is the highest course at the park, and the version with three Big Zips is the biggest option.
- Big groups: see the groups section below.
Younger siblings who aren't tall enough can use the play park. For more ideas for little ones, see the guide to kids activities in Johannesburg. When you've picked a course, book your course.
What to Expect on the Day
Your session starts with a safety briefing, and the two hours include it, so expect a little under two hours on the obstacles. Syringa Park's activity page says briefings are thorough and instructors are on hand throughout.
On the course, you climb, swing, balance and zip through the treetops. The courses use the Clic-It continuous belay system, which keeps you clipped on throughout, along with European-standard equipment and obstacles. The Big Zip is the final thrill, a 340 m ride across the water, and the combo options include it.
Arrive before your slot so the briefing isn't rushed, then refuel at the gourmet eateries. To plan your slot, see times and availability.
What to Wear and Bring
Climbing gloves are compulsory from age 7 up to adults, and they cost R25 per pair at reception, or you can bring your own. Closed shoes and clothes you can move in are the sensible choice, and a bottle of water is worth carrying.
How Much Does Acrobranch Cost?
Courses start from R170 for Acro-twigs and go up to R360 for High Flying with three Big Zips, with prices last checked on 23 October 2026. Prices change, so use the activity page for the current list before you book.
