a larger-than-life adventure, only at The Rand Show 2026

In 2025, The Rand Show introduced Ocean Wanders – and it became one of the biggest hits on the show floor. Visitors didn’t just walk through it; they stopped, explored, took photos, and left genuinely buzzing. After that kind of response, the question naturally followed: how could it possibly be topped?

In 2026, The Rand Show answers with Jungle Magic — a larger-than-life jungle experience that transforms a hall into an immersive world designed to delight the senses. This isn’t something visitors ‘look at’. It’s something they will feel and delight in.

From the moment kids of all ages step inside, Jungle Magic will pull them into the wild. They’ll witness the sights, hear jungle calls echoing through the space, and smell that fresh jungle scent that makes it feel like they’ve been transported far beyond Johannesburg. Bright, bold colours set the tone for an experience that instantly sparks wonder, captivating kids and drawing adults in just as quickly.

And then there are the creatures.

Jungle Magic features giant, magical animals and show-stopping jungle elements that feel straight out of an adventure story; from a King Kong-sized gorilla ; to huge elephants; vibrant chameleons; and striking flamingos. Around every corner, something new awaits: giant spiders, dramatic jungle scenes, and a world packed with texture and detail that makes the space feel alive.

The experience blends fun with discovery. Along the way, visitors are encouraged to learn as they explore – pausing to take in oversized environments, Jurassic-sized flowers, and bursts of colour. Another highlight includes an indoor waterfall feature that brings the jungle to life in spectacular fashion.

For the brave (and the curious), there’s also the chance to touch and feel creepy crawlies, adding an extra thrill that children will love — and talk about long after they’ve left the show.

Jungle Magic is an experience unlike anything else in Johannesburg, and it reinforces The Rand Show’s position as Joburg’s best day out. For families looking for the best place to be over the Easter weekend, this is it: one huge hall filled with wonder, colour, sound and pure Jungle Magic – all at no extra cost to visitors.
