The Central Drakensberg is a dream destination for paragliding, with its dramatic cliffs, rolling valleys, and consistent thermals that make for ideal flying conditions. Taking off from grassy slopes or mountain ridges, adventurers step into the air and are immediately rewarded with sweeping views of one of South Africa’s most spectacular landscapes.
As the wing catches the breeze, you’ll soar effortlessly above green pastures, glittering dams, and the basalt peaks of the Drakensberg escarpment. The feeling is pure exhilaration — floating high above the earth with only the sound of the wind around you. On clear days, visibility stretches for kilometres, making every flight a breathtaking sightseeing adventure.
Tandem flights are popular for first-timers, offering the thrill of paragliding with the reassurance of an experienced pilot at the controls. For seasoned flyers, the Central Drakensberg offers exciting challenges and the chance to push personal limits in world-class conditions.
Paragliding here isn’t just about adrenaline; it’s about seeing the Drakensberg from a perspective few ever will — suspended in silence above the mountains, part of the sky itself.
