About helicopter tours

Why fly in South Africa

South Africa's helicopter tour scene is anchored by Cape Town — a city whose geography (Table Mountain rising 1,000 metres directly out of the Atlantic, the Twelve Apostles cliff face, and Cape Point where two oceans meet) was made for the airborne perspective. Flights from the V&A Waterfront helipad climb out over Table Bay before tracing the Atlantic Seaboard past Clifton, Camps Bay and the back of Table Mountain, with longer routes continuing down the peninsula to Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope. Beyond Cape Town, charters serve the Winelands (Stellenbosch, Franschhoek), the Garden Route and Kruger National Park safari camps. Cape Town also hosts Africa's most experienced scenic-flight operators, with twin-engine aircraft favoured by film crews and high-end safari outfits, and SACAA certification to international safety standards.
