MICROLIGHT
Microlight Flights from the Magaliesburg
Take a beautiful Magaliesburg scenic flight from 10 km northeast of the Hartbeespoort Dam, the pilot will fly you along the Magaliesburg ridge (these mountains are amongst the oldest in the world, almost 100 times older than Mount Everest) and also see Hartbeespoort dam in the background. The route does depend on what the wind is doing on the day though.
Flights are conducted in an weightshift trike Microlight with the prospective student sitting in tandem behind the pilot and has an almost 300 degree view of the amazing scenery.
