HELICOPTER FLIPS ADVENTURES IN SOUTH AFRICA
South
Africa is a beautiful country, offering some of the most
beautiful scenery, landscapes and sights in the world.
Undoubtedly there could be few better ways to observe
these marvels, than from high up in the sky. Helicopter
flights and flips in South Africa allow you the joys of
a bird’s eye-view of the beauty that South Africa has to
offer. A scenic flight offers the opportunity to view a
vast area in a relatively short space of time. South
Africa is home to a number of locations from which
helicopter flips are arranged.
Companies like Beach and Bush, provide tailored packages
that organize breathtaking South African helicopter
rides in any of a huge list of South African locations.
From the majestic Drakensberg, Zululand and the Valley
of a Thousand Hills, to the exciting Wild Coast and
Garden Route on the east coast of South Africa. Usually
combined with a delightful picnic, a South African
helicopter flip is a wonderful experience not to be
missed.
Many of the national parks and game reserves in South
Africa, have recently included helicopter flips and
rides around the reserve. Numerous parks in Limpopo will
allow you the once in a life time opportunity of taking
a marvellous helicopter ride - giving you a birds eye
view of the gorgeous landscapes and diverse South
African wildlife.
Taking a helicopter flip in Cape Town will give you a
close-up view of Table Mountain, the Twelve Apostles
Mountain range, the gorgeous beaches, blue seas and the
many beautiful wine farms. They allow for aerial
inspection of the indigenous flora and fauna and even
the shipwrecks near Llandudno. In season, why not plan
to take an exciting helicopter ride around known whale
watching (e.g. Hermanus) locations and view these
graceful creatures from the sky.
The Nelson Mandela Bay Metro (Port Elizabeth) provides
scenic helicopter flips for tourists who wish to obtain
a bird's eye view of the metro, the coastline and
surrounding areas. There are affordable five minute
flips, a half an hour scenic view of the city or a one
and a half hour trip of Addo Elephant Park.
If you prefer something a little more exciting than a
relaxed aerial tour, then why not try a 30 minute,
adrenaline packed helicopter ride in a Huey Helicopter?
This World War chopper has been wonderfully restored and
now offers helicopter trips that will leave your heart
racing and a grin on your face for at least a few days.
After gingerly taking off from the V&A Waterfront, the
impressive Huey makes its way long the west coast of
Cape Town in the direction of Melkbosstrand Beach, and
then the fun begins. Feel the ‘G-Forces’ as the Huey
builds up speed and pulls up vertical, before turning
dropping back down towards the sea. At the last minute,
the experienced pilot straightens out the chopper and
flies at high speed, just a few metres off the water
below. After you’re taken through a few other military
training manoeuvres, the Huey makes its way back to
‘base’, where you’re given a certificate to certify your
Huey adventure. Definitely a South African helicopter
trip that is not to be missed!
