Activity description

Ever wondered what it would be like to be a pilot? Now you can experience all the thrills of piloting your own aircraft on this introductory flying experience.

This activity is a must as it's a rare opportunity to fly an aircraft yourself! Upon arrival you'll meet your friendly flying instructor and start with a quick safety briefing on the aircraft, it's mechanics and safety features. Next, you'll be acting like a real pilot by doing all the pre-flight inspections, with your instructor double-checking behind you of course. He'll also give you a full tour of the controls and everything you need to know, he's open to any questions you may and most likely have.

Now comes the fun! Your instructor takes control of the take-off, find yourself bombarding down the runway before taking off into the sky. Your instructor will bring the plane to cruising altitude and then it's over to you! Take control of the aircraft thanks to the dual controls the plane has, so your pilot can take control in a split second if needed. Your adrenaline will be pumping as your instructor tells you to decrease/increase altitude, to bank and turn. There is nothing quite like it!

You'll be approaching Lekoalodge, about 30 minutes flight away. Here your instructor will take the controls once again to safely land the plane. You just sit back, relax and enjoy the view. Once you land at Bush airstrip, a team member from Lekoalodge will come and pick you up to drive you to the lodge. At the lodge, you'll enjoy a mouth-watering breakfast or lunch included with this flight option. Once you're nice and full it's time to head back to the aircraft for your return flight to Secunda. 

Finish off this lovely flight with an introductory flight certificate to show off to your friends and family. This will be without a doubt one of the best flying memories you'll ever have!
