Black Friday 2026: Deals in Johannesburg you won't want to miss

Between the year-end deadlines, festive-season plans and the general chaos of December creeping closer, a few hours at Mowana Spa might be exactly what you need.

Located at Indaba Hotel in Fourways, the spa is knocking R300 to R500 off selected treatments this Black Friday, including the African Savannah Afternoon Ritual, African Rejuvenation, African Skies and Makoya Morning Retreat. It's a chance to enjoy a proper spa experience at a reduced price, so you can leave feeling refreshed rather than adding another expensive treat to your December budget. The specials are available on Friday 27 November only.

A good wine tasting is even better when you get to enjoy it for half the price. Eighteen13 is giving wine lovers a reason to gather their friends and spend an afternoon sampling wines with a few tasty pairings on the side. 

Its Black Friday special cuts 50% off selected experiences, bringing a standard tasting down from R120 to R60. The biltong and wine, chocolate and wine, and cheese and wine pairings drop from R175 to R88. With venues in Sandton and Johannesburg South, there's a tasting session worth putting on your calendar for Friday 27 November.

Here's one for anyone already dreaming about their next hotel getaway. Peermont is offering 40% off accommodation at all its properties as part of its Black Friday sale. To get the discount, bookings must be made between Friday 27 and Sunday 29 November 2026, with stays available from 15 December 2026 through to 31 December 2027.

Joburgers can put the offer towards a stay at Emperors Palace in Kempton Park, where hotels, restaurants and entertainment make it easy to turn an overnight stay into a proper getaway. It's worth getting your dates sorted early, as the offer is subject to availability.

Got a competitive streak or kids who seem to have endless energy? BOUNCE is a good place to put both to use. The indoor adventure park has trampolines, obstacle courses and freestyle activities that make for a fun outing with friends or family. Its Black Friday sale kicks off on Thursday 26 November at 8am and runs until 11:59pm on Friday 27 November. Fourways and Midrand are among the participating locations, so keep an eye on the website for the discounts when they're released. It could be just the excuse you need to swap another afternoon on the couch for a few hours of bouncing around.

Elle Beauty Spa in Buccleuch, Sandton, is offering a Black Friday package that packs several treatments into one visit. For R499 instead of R1 900, you'll get a 60-minute full-body massage, a foot soak, scrub and massage, a head, neck and shoulder massage, plus a 30-minute express Rooibos facial. 

The package also comes with a welcome drink and snack platter, giving you time to unwind between treatments. That's a 74% saving on a spa visit that covers far more than a quick massage. You can book it for yourself or share the pampering with someone else.

Fancy seeing the countryside from somewhere other than behind a car window? Herd Dynamics Horsemanship in Meyerton offers two people a guided trail ride lasting approximately an hour. 

You'll get to explore the area on horseback, learn the basics of handling your horse and enjoy a proper outdoor adventure without needing previous riding experience. It's an especially good pick for anyone who's always wanted to try horse riding but never got around to it. The Black Friday price is R399 for two people, down from R700.

A massage is even better when you don't have to pay full price for it. Zen Afrique Spa in Glen Austin, Midrand, is marking Black Friday with a buy one get one free massage offer, alongside 50% off massages from Friday 27 to Sunday 29 November.

There's also a little something extra for anyone booking a 60-minute treatment, with a complimentary 45-minute luxury foot ritual thrown in. With its peaceful garden setting, it's a lovely spot to swap the city's noise for a few hours of relaxation while paying less for your treatments. Bookings are required and offers are subject to availability.

Ready to trade solid ground for swinging bridges, wobbly walkways and a zipline ride through the trees? Acrobranch is cutting the price of its treetop adventures by a whopping 50% this Black Friday. Climb, swing, balance and zip your way through the obstacle courses for half the usual price, with parks across Johannesburg, the East Rand, Pretoria and Muldersdrift. To claim the deal, visit the Acrobranch website, choose your preferred park and adventure, then enter the promo code ACROBLACK50 at checkout.

The offer is valid from Friday 27 November to Sunday 29 November, so don't leave booking until the last minute.
