Fly like a bird with only the sound of the wind in your ears!Already a world renowned location for Gliding or Soaring.

The nearby Gariep airstrip (5kms) plays host annually to a five month long flight feast - September to February - that attracts pilots from the four corners of the globe. We like to keep our feet firmly on the ground but, we can admit, lying on our backs and watching these magnificent men in their gliding machines is a wonderfully relaxing way to pass a warm summer's day.
