It was a truly unique...
It was a truly unique experience in Johannesburg! Malone and Charles did a fantastic job at showing us spots that we otherwise would have definitely missed and sharing with us a new perspective of the city. All with good drinks and in a fun atmosphere!

Great experience!!
We had an incredible experience doing rooftop jumping with Roots of Africa. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed and well taken care of. The guides were not only highly skilled and safety‑minded, but also truly knowledgeable about the local area. As lifelong residents, they shared fascinating insights into South Africa’s history, culture, and everyday life—turning the adventure into both an adrenaline-filled and educational experience. We spent a total of five hours together, and throughout the entire activity the guides were professional, friendly, and easy to connect with. They were intelligent, warm, and clearly passionate about what they do, which made the experience even more memorable. Rooftop jumping itself was thrilling, safe, and unlike anything we’ve tried before. The unique perspectives of the city and the sense of freedom made it a highlight of our trip. We can wholeheartedly recommend this activity to anyone looking for something exciting, meaningful, and authentically local. Roots of Africa delivers an experience that goes far beyond the ordinary.

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Johannesburg: Rooftop Hopping Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Johannesburg.
How much does Johannesburg: Rooftop Hopping Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $108 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Johannesburg usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Johannesburg: Rooftop Hopping Experience take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Johannesburg is not rushed.
Is Johannesburg: Rooftop Hopping Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Johannesburg, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Johannesburg: Rooftop Hopping Experience?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Johannesburg: Rooftop Hopping Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Johannesburg: Rooftop Hopping Experience?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Johannesburg can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Johannesburg and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Johannesburg: Rooftop Hopping Experience start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Johannesburg within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Johannesburg?
+
On Outty we rank every Johannesburg experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soweto and Johannesburg Exclusive Full Day Guided Tour, Ultimate Johannesburg Soweto Experience with Apartheid Museum, Full Day Ultimate Pilanesberg National Park Safari from Johannesburg or Pretoria. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Johannesburg?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Johannesburg?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Johannesburg: Rooftop Hopping Experience?

+

What languages is Johannesburg: Rooftop Hopping Experience offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Johannesburg: Rooftop Hopping Experience?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
