Maintenance in Hoedspruit

Ever thought of flying in amicrolight or even learning to fly.  Let us show you how. We are situated in Hoedspruit in the Lowveld a few kilometers drive from the Kruger National Park.  We also offer pilot licence training ranging from training on weight shift microlights (trikes), conventional microlights, light sport aircraft right up through PPL on a Cessna 172 and commercial training. Areas that can be covered are the Blyde Dam, Bourkes Potholes, and the Olifants River. We offer scenic flights varying from 10 minutes to one and a half hour flights over the best parts of the country in Hoedspruit being the Blyde River Canyon and Big 5 game reserves. We offer full time training as well as part time training.

What can be better than soaring over the Big Five country? Here is your chance to take in the breathtaking and unique views of animals and of the untamed African landscape from above. We offer flying safaris in a Bantam over the Hoedspruit or Phalaborwa area. You have the option to just sit back, experience the flight and view the game, or you can have a hands-on experience from your very first flight. We also have a variety of flight lengths available. Longer flights to the canyon and Graskop should preferably be undertaken early in the morning or late in the afternoon as the weather is best then to go over the Drakensberg. To see wild Africa from the sky, low-level, is something not to be missed. With our introductory flights you have a choice of either experiencing flying in a microlight or a light sport aeroplane. We are perfectly situated to offer some of the best flying in the world. The weather is near perfect year-round, and extremely diverse scenery is situated within a short flight of the airfield. The airfield that we operate from is Hoedspruit Civil, which is the only airfield in the country situated in the middle of a town. Hoedspruit is unique in that it is the only runway to be found in the centre of a town. Browse through the related links to other organisations and other interesting reading matter below.
