Helicopter Flight

When it comes to seeing South Africa from a different point of view, helicopter flights provide a spectacular way of seeing the country. Renowned for its beautiful scenery, amazing landscapes and stunning natural attractions, South Africa can be enjoyed both from the ground and the air.

There is something about flying in such a small aircraft that makes the experience that much more enjoyable. Whether it is the size of the helicopter, the sound of the propellers or the fact that it can do flips and turns more easily than larger aircraft, the experience of flying in a helicopter is one that is long remembered.

Helicopter tours and charters are offered in some of the scenically magnificent areas of the country, including the Garden Route, Kimberly, Mpumalanga, Cape Town and the West Coast. The Garden Route is a popular holiday destination for visitors and locals. Renowned for its lush green forest, warm ocean waters, magnificent mountains and variety of wildlife, it is no wonder so many people visit the Garden Route each year. These tours depart from Botlierskop Game Reserve, so you can view over 26 different animal species in the reserve alone. Depending on the season, you may be able to watch whales basking in the waters just off the coast.

The helicopter flights offered in Kimberly leave from Mattanu Private Game Reserve. Like the Garden Route flights, these afford you a fantastic view across the reserve and of the animals roaming the veld. Tours over Mpumalanga will reveal the breathtaking Blyde River Canyon – the third deepest canyon in the world and one of the most stunning sights in Africa. You will also see the Three Rondavels and the Mpumalanga Lowveld.

Cape Town offers you the Huey helicopter, which has done two tours in Vietnam, spent considerable time training pilots at Fort Rucker in Alabama and was used during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Your flight is one of adventure and takes you through the Combat Zone for an adrenalin-filled flight of a lifetime. Experience one of these breathtaking helicopter charter adventure tours and see the world from a bird’s eye view.
