A cool wind takes the edge off the cliff and then you step forward — the hill seems to push you into the sky. From launch above the Map of Africa viewpoint the sea flattens into a slate ribbon, lakes mirror inland hills, and thermals lift the wing so quietly it feels like the landscape is breathing you upward.

Choose morning flights
Morning thermals tend to be smoother and visibility is often better for photos; mid-afternoon sea breezes can get gusty.
Wear sturdy shoes
You’ll take a few steps at launch and may walk on uneven ground during landing and retrieval.
Bring a lightweight jacket
Coastal air cools quickly when you’re aloft—windproof layers keep you comfortable for the full flight.
