Idwala Adventures
Did you know there’s a newly opened rock climbing building right here at Lake Umuzi! Located at South Bank, across from Action Sports, you will find the excitingly, skew building with the mountainous design painted across the walls. This is Idwala Adventures, and your new favourite exercise spot.
The colder weather is ideal for this sport, as there is more friction in the cold, which gives you better grip on the ropes and shoes. Your body will also lose less water, reducing the need to rehydrate as frequently.
Idwala Adventures is open during the week from 17h00 to 21h00, and from 10h00 to 17h00 on Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays.
Want to host your kid’s birthday party at Idwala? Contact them and let them host the most rocking party ever!
