Had an amazing family day out at acrobranch Melrose. Bongani Tshabalala took us through the blue course. His skills, expertise and guidance was outstanding. I commend him for his patience, motivation and encouragement. Definitely encouraged me to push the boundaries out of my comfort zone.
Bongani is amazing!

Acrobranch is a fun and exciting tree too expeience. However , the facility is poorly managed. Not sufficient guides at each course. It’s extremely oversubscribed which makes it dangerous.
We were beginners but the staff recommended us the hardest course which we paid for and ended up having to downgrade as the course is quite advanced.
By 3.30-4pm most guides had knocked off and there was only one member of staff on the grounds helping all the remaining customers on the various courses.
My expectation would be that each obstacle has a guide to ensure safety.

Took my 9 year old and 5 year old and they had so much fun even though they were nervous before starting. The staff are so energetic and very good with children. Actually, they were good with all the guests- helping out where needed and encouraging each person along the course. This was a great experience. I hope the other branches are just as good.

We came back after COVID and lock down. The place is really quite run down and I believe it’s becoming dangerous!
We had booked for 15 kids and asked to be there 11.10 for briefing in order to start 11.30. By 12.30 they started which comprises our plans for pick ups time to eat etc.
Staff is absolutely not interested in helping the kids. They mostly talked to each other and had very little interest in helping the kids. Not sure if they are understaffed or just disorganised. The group of 15 kids was scattered all over the place and many kids left alone in the treetops not knowing really how to go on with the parcours.
I am sure it’s a fun day out with the family but I don’t recommend for a party where they have to look after a group of 15 kids, they are not trained nor interested to do so.
A disappointment for the money you pay!

A great way to challenge yourself and experience something different. We did the red course (most difficult) and although we are in our 20s, we are not gym bunnies. We found it challenging in such a great way. We were able to complete the whole course with minimum assistance. For those who did need assistance it was readily available. Bring a picnic to have afterwards!

Very well-run operation. Booking was quick and easy, and the introductory training was a breeze. We spent about 2 hours here including the training.
Several families were having parties or picnics on the grounds -- there is plenty of space. Looks like a fun day out for kids.
There are several courses available, ranging from one for toddlers to a challenging course involving wall-climbing. We did the blue course, which is the second most difficult one, and it was good fun. After the first couple of "obstacles" you forget that you're 10m above the ground! Will probably be back for the harder course :)

What is the safest way to get to this facility? We have heard that taxis can be risky. Thanks

Hi Jeanette
I would recommend Uber, we actually do have it is SA and it does work very well. The address is James and Ethol Grey park, Melrose.
Uber also have a cash facility if your bank card does not work, trust this answers your question, I do not recommend a taxi as it can be dangerous
Je recommande Uber, nous avons effectivement il est SA et il ne fonctionne très bien. L'adresse est James et le parc Ethol Gray, Melrose.
Uber a également une facilité de trésorerie si votre carte bancaire ne fonctionne pas, la confiance que cela répond à votre question, je ne recommande pas un taxi car il peut être dangereux
Regards Rob
