Microlight Flights with Leading Edge Flight School

Have you ever dreamed of soaring through the African sky in an open-air aircraft, feeling the wind as you glide above untamed wilderness? At Leading Edge Flight School, that dream becomes reality — one microlight flight at a time.

Our microlight experiences offer a truly unique and intimate way to explore the breathtaking landscapes of Hoedspruit and its surroundings. With tandem seating and unobstructed views, microlight flying gives you a raw, exhilarating perspective of the African bush that no closed cockpit can match.

Choose to sit back and enjoy the ride as one of our highly qualified instructors takes you over Big 5 game reserves, or take the controls yourself under expert guidance. Whether it’s a 10-minute scenic hop or a full hour of aerial adventure, each flight delivers unforgettable views of Africa’s iconic wildlife, open plains, and rugged terrain.

Venture further with our Blyde River Canyon microlight safari, where you’ll fly at 6,350 feet above sea level, taking in jaw-dropping sights like the Three Rondavels and the Drakensberg escarpment — all from the open air.

For those ready to take their passion to the next level, Leading Edge Flight School also offers microlight pilot training. Learn to fly in one of the most scenic regions on earth, with personal, one-on-one instruction designed to turn first flights into a lifelong skill.

Break free. Feel the freedom. Experience the thrill of microlight flying with Leading Edge — where adventure takes flight.
