We are licensed and checked by the SA Civil Aviation Authority and pride ourselves with an impeccable safety record of over 1850 flights. Many people from all over the world have enjoyed a flight with us but due to erratic weather and wind conditions in the Cape, cancellations happen just as often. Therefore please allow as many days as possible to arrange your flight. It´s advisable to phone us as soon as you arrive in the viscinity of Paarl or Cape Town to give us and yourselves the chance to organise the experience. Even though there is a good chance that mother nature will spoil our attempts, because safety comes first and we dont´t take any risks. We had guests who only went up at their second holiday in the Cape and this gives you a good reason to come back to the “Fairest Cape of All”. Looking towards Paarl Rock and the Berg River Valley - Picture by Martin Calitz Due to the wet winters in the “Green Season”, our flights only take place between November and April. Flights last appr. one hour but please allow 4-5 hours for the whole trip incl. of breakfast. We can take a max of 4-5 passengers in the basket. |
