Do you need some fun things to add to your to DO list? No, we definitely not mean the mundane tasks you have attend to on the daily, but the fun and outdoor activities you can DO and enjoy.
In Century City, getting outdoors isn’t just a weekend plan, it’s a way of life. Designed as a connected, walkable precinct, our smart city invites people to move, explore, and enjoy its parks, pathways, and public spaces every day.
Whether you’re taking a morning jog along the canals, cycling to work, joining a community event in Central Park, or enjoying a peaceful stroll through Ratanga Park, every corner of the precinct encourages movement and balance. The layout of our precinct was intentionally planned to make being active easy and enjoyable, blending natural beauty with thoughtful urban design.
With its mix of green open spaces, safe pedestrian routes, and waterway networks, Century City offers the perfect backdrop for a healthy, outdoor lifestyle.
It’s a place where the pace of the city meets the calm of nature, and where being out and about simply feels like the natural thing to do.

Boat + tram deals
There is no better way to see Century City than literally on the inside track! If you’re looking for something a little different, an Intaka boat ride and Century City Tramway ride is just the thing for you. And you don’t have to choose just one – have the most fun and do the combo.
We’ve rounded up some great deals for you with Wikideals and Daddy’s Deals. See you out there!
Century City Tramway
The Century City tram car was built from scratch in 10 months and styled to look like something out of the history books. Everything from the massive headlight to the flip over benches was fabricated in the workshop by two of South Africa’s best known model train builders. It is most definitely not just another amusement park ride, this is artisan-built entertainment.
Built around a classical 1920’s look, visitors can enjoy a 20 minute ride across Century City, from Ratanga Park to Intaka Island and vice versa.
