For budding pilots, one of the best places to start is learning to fly microlights. South Africa is a wonderful place to learn to microlight, and, for experienced pilots, the spectacular landscape and operators scattered all over the country make for the perfect destination to take flight.

The majority of microlight schools and clubs operate out of Johannesburg and Pretoria. Beginners can book tandem flights with experienced pilots, and visitors with their own equipment can use the airfields as take off and landing locations. The choices of flight paths is endless and the scenery along the way is stunning.

If you would like to include game viewing in your microlight experience, head to Hoedspruit in Mpumalanga where pilots will take you on breathtaking excursions over Big Five reserves.

For the more adventurous, a flight school out of Margate on the coast of KwaZulu Natal offers microlight flips guaranteed to get your heart pumping as you take in the spectacular sights of the coastline.
