Major Dad's private paragliding site is situated along one of South Africa's most pristine ridges in the Wilderness known as Paradise Ridge. With take-offs from our site in wind speeds as low as 15kph, it is possible to soar along the ridge sometimes hours before or after all but the most experienced pilots can launch from the other take-offs.
Dangers: No top-landing space, rather land on the beach. Watch out for sudden wind increase.
