Hang Gliding Experience Gifts
Hang Gliding was invented when engineers were first developing methods of flight, with the first recorded successful hang glide being in the late 19th century. Since then, we've come a long way in terms of improving equipment, reaching greater heights, and making the sport more accessible to the general public.In the early days, flight was achieved by holding onto a lightweight metal frame with a sailcloth attached, and running down a gentle hill until the wind catches. Modern hang gliding is far more advanced, with the ability to reach higher altitudes by towing the glider first from an aircraft or microlight. The current record for hang gliding height stands at 38,800ft - but beginner experience days are generally a lot less!
Hang Gliding in South Africa is breath-taking, with mountain ranges and endless plains to soar above.
