Star Jump (Bungee Trampoline) for Hire
The Star Jump is a bungee trampoline: a jumper is clipped into a full-body harness attached to elastic bungee cords on a rigged frame, then bounces on a trampoline while the cords carry them several times higher than they could jump alone. It is the highest-thrill item we hire and it is nothing like a bouncing castle — it is an operator-run attraction, closer to a fairground ride than to play equipment. Ours has two jump stations side by side, so two people go at once and the queue moves at twice the rate of a single-station rig. A trained operator runs it throughout: fitting the harness, checking the clips, controlling the bounce and bringing the jumper down. That is not optional supervision, it is how the equipment works, and it is included in the hire. Weight and height limits apply, as they do on any bungee attraction — tell us the age range of your guests when booking and we will confirm what suits. It needs 6m x 6m of clear, flat ground, and it is set up on grass. Because the frame is rigged with masts and guy lines rather than simply inflated, allow a longer setup window than for a castle and make sure the site is clear of overhead branches and cables. Professional setup, a trained operator and setdown are included in the hire price at no extra cost. Transport is quoted by location. It is almost always hired alongside a bouncing castle rather than on its own: two stations at a time means a big party will queue, and a castle absorbs the children who are waiting or too young to jump. Commonly booked with tents for shade, tables and chairs for seating and kids party packages. Suitable for school fun days and sports days, corporate family fun days and team-building, teenage and milestone birthday parties, estate and neighbourhood events, church and community youth days, fundraisers, galas and activations, and all other occasions in Nairobi wanting a headline attraction.

Frequently Hired With the Star Jump
What the Star Jump Is Used For
The star jump — a bungee trampoline, also searched as a bungee jump trampoline or harness trampoline — is hired for school fun days and sports days, corporate family fun days and team-building, teenage and milestone birthday parties, estate and neighbourhood events, church and community youth days, fundraisers, galas and activations, and all other occasions in Nairobi wanting a headline attraction.

An Operator-Run Attraction, Not Play Equipment
This is the highest-thrill item we hire and it works nothing like a bouncing castle. A trained operator runs it throughout — fitting the harness, checking the clips, controlling the bounce and bringing the jumper down. That is not optional supervision, it is how the equipment functions, and it is included in the hire. Two consequences follow. First, throughput: two stations means two people at a time, so a large party will queue. Hire it alongside a bouncing castle rather than on its own — the castle absorbs the children who are waiting or too young to jump, and the star jump becomes the thing people work up to rather than the only thing to do. Second, siting: it needs 6m x 6m of clear flat ground on grass, and because the frame is rigged with masts and guy lines rather than simply inflated, allow a longer setup window than for a castle and make sure the area is clear of overhead branches and cables. Weight and height limits apply, as on any bungee attraction — tell us the age range of your guests when booking and we will confirm what suits. Setup, the operator and setdown are included; transport is quoted by location.

6m x 6m of clear flat ground on grass, clear of overhead branches and cables. The frame is rigged with masts and guy lines, so allow a longer setup window than for an inflatable.
Pair it with a castle that absorbs the crowd — a 6m unit is KSh 6,000 to 7,500, or the Lego at KSh 13,500 takes 12 to 15.

Some Equipment Occupies, Some Draws a Crowd
Most of what we hire is designed to occupy children for hours. A castle sits in the garden, children use it whenever they like, and nobody queues for long.
A star jump does the opposite. Two people jump at a time, everyone else watches, and a line forms — which sounds like a flaw and is actually the point. It is a spectacle: people gather, film it, and wait their turn because getting to the top of the bounce is worth waiting for.
Understanding which of the two you are buying is the whole planning decision. Hired as though it were a castle, it will disappoint. Hired as the headline attraction with a castle underneath it, it works exactly as intended.
Occupier or Attraction
The distinction runs right through our range, and this sits firmly at one end of it.
| Type | Examples | Role at the event |
|---|---|---|
| Occupiers | Bouncing castles, soft play, pools | Absorb the crowd for hours |
| Structured play | Football pitch, obstacle courses | Give the afternoon a shape |
| Attractions | Star jump, climbing tower, zorb | Draw a crowd, create the moment |
Two Stations Is Twice the Queue Speed
Most bungee trampolines in this market are single-station rigs: one harness, one trampoline, one person at a time.
Ours has two side by side, which halves the wait for the same number of guests. At a school fun day or a corporate family day, where a hundred people may want a turn, that is the difference between a queue that moves and one that puts people off joining.
It also changes the atmosphere. Two jumpers going at once turns individual turns into something closer to a competition, and people push each other higher.
The Operator Is Part of the Equipment
A trained operator runs it throughout — fitting the harness, checking every clip, controlling the bounce and bringing the jumper down under control.
That is worth stating plainly because it is different from our castles, where the included child minder is supervision. Here the operator is how the thing functions. Nobody uses a star jump unattended, and the hire includes the person who runs it.
Weight and height limits apply, as on any bungee attraction. Tell us the age range of your guests when booking and we will confirm what suits before you commit, rather than discovering on the day that half the queue cannot ride.
Siting It
It needs 6m x 6m of clear, flat ground, set up on grass.
The overhead check matters more here than on any inflatable. A rigged frame with masts and guy lines needs genuine clearance above and around it, and a bungee jumper goes considerably higher than the frame — so branches, cables, security lighting and washing lines all count. Walk the site and look up before booking.
Because it is rigged rather than inflated, allow a longer setup window than for a castle, and keep the guy-line area clear of chairs and tables once it is up.
Setup, the operator and setdown are included in the hire. Transport is quoted by location.
