The Acrobranch activities are great for personal growth and development as it challenges the child’s motor skills and develops balance and strength as well as self-confidence.

Kids can celebrate their birthday parties at Acrobranch Melrose by challenging their friends to an entertaining experience. Our adult courses are structured for different fitness levels. Kids can also participate in these courses (terms and conditions apply with regards to age restrictions). Our Beginners Course, The Monkey Moves course. gradually increases up to 5m high above the ground. Our moderate course, the Swinging Tarzan, consists of zip lines, bridges, monkey bridges, Tarzan jumps and many other activities to challenge you. Certain obstacles are as high up as 10 meters. Then, for the more daring, why not attempt our High Flying course. Each individual is secured with a harness and the friendly instructors are there to walk you through the process, ensuring your safety at all times.

Our Reviews
Alinafe Ngondo, Acrobranch Johannesburg Park Manager:
If you had told me that I’d one day be the Manager of Acrobranch Melrose four years ago, I wouldn’t have believed it. My growth in this company could be somewhat compared to a caterpillar transitioning into a butterfly. I’ve learned so much about people and the power that our words carry. So much so that I’m even considering being a motivational speaker one day. But jokes aside, this position has really taught me how to dig deep, how to empathize with people and the true meaning of Ubuntu. It has taught me that life can at times be like our obstacle courses. They may be challenging at times but once you get to the zip lines, it makes it all worth it.
And that’s why I’ll always be “HOOKED”
