Top Air Activities in South Africa

I suggest checking the weather a few days ahead. Wind can change plans! The skies were pretty cloudy on my first try, but I rescheduled and got the best views on a clear day.

Check out their photos and video packages before you go. I ended up spending more than I planned because I didn't realize how pricey the extras would be. Budget for it!
