If you’re an avid fan of cross-country gliding then South Africa is one of the best locations to indulge in your favourite pastime. The country has become a premier gliding destination of note largely thanks to its favourable weather conditions as well as its spellbinding aesthetic natural beauty; the northern parts of the country in particular are ideal for cross-country gliding whether you choose to fly in winter or summer conditions. There are a number of gliding associations splattered throughout South Africa and most offer introductory gliding courses to those new to the sport of gliding.

For those of you that are quite experienced at gliding and are always on the lookout for new places to visit and explore, then cross-country gliding over the many game reserves South Africa has on display is a unique opportunity that is perfect for you. Let’s face it – the country is internationally famous for its myriad of outstanding game parks and nature reserves and what better way to soak up the intense contrasts, colours, and beauty than by having a bird’s eye view from up above. The great thing about cross-country gliding is that you are largely in control of your journey – you pick which game reserves you want to see and when you want to go. The experience is riveting and captivating – unlike any other exploration of Mother Earth you may have done previously. Cross-country gliding over game reserves is an experience to savour; an opportunity that promises to humble and overwhelm you, and introduce you to how marvellous our fantastic planet really is.
