One Hour Blyde River Canyon Microlight Flight

Enjoy a unique aerial sightseeing experience with this one-hour microlight flight over the Blyde River Canyon and Hoedspruit, in the scenic Limpopo province.

Flights take off from the Hoedspruit Civil Airfield, where you’ll be met by an experienced pilot. They’ll brief you on what to expect before leading you to the lightweight, fixed-wing aircraft. After taking your seats, the pilot will prepare for take-off—and then it’s up, up and away! If you’ve never flown in a microlight before you're in for a real treat, as the low altitude and open cockpit allows for some serious views. Once you’re at altitude, the pilot will offer a brief flying lesson, allowing you to take the controls yourself. Alternatively, you can just sit back and enjoy the views over the Blyde River Dam, Blyde River Canyon and the Three Rondawels. A variety of game can also be spotted in the reserves near Hoedspruit, including members of the Big Five. Lions and leopards can be elusive, but you’ve a good chance of seeing elephants, rhinos and buffalos—so be sure to keep a lookout!
