Tandems   

I went on my first tandem in the Garden Route nearly 8 yrs ago, I then resigned my job of 14yrs, giving 24hr notice!!!  Thats when I truly started conceiving an idea of another life out there:-)

In the last 7years I have traveled with my glider, looking for a new place to fly. It is only with much thanks to my fellow pilots, that have always looked out for me, explaining extensively how each site works. Hereby I have met the most incredible tandem pilots. The guys that fly every day and know the sites better than there own kitchens and have the necessary TFI, SAHPA ratings. 

Living here in Cape Town, has Blessed me with meeting the most incredible pilots ever!! So, if you interested in a tailor made flight, gimme a shout and I will hook you up with my favorite pilots throughout SA.

Cape Town

Lion's Head

Lions' Head has two launch sites, Lower & Top launch. The walk is rather rough, so do wear decent hiking boots, or the likes of. landing at Camps Bay Beach or La Med in Camps Bay, paragliding here offers you the most incredible panoramic view of Camps Bay and the 12 Apostles. The walk up Lion's is rather rough, so do wear proper shoes!!

Sutherland

This site allows the most local South African feel like a tourist! Sutherland has the real Small Town feel, no ATM, really bad 3G reception, and a little store for groceries etc. It does have a beautiful church. The accommodation surrounding the town is stunning with 3rd generation families opening there homes to guests. They also go out their way to offer home cooked meals!
