The folks at Cape Town Helicopters give me a flip in one of their choppers on Saturday to do a photoshoot. It was a cool and crystal-clear day perfect for shooting.
Table Mountain with Lion’s Head on the right, the harbour in the front.
Cape Town Stadium, with Lion’s Head and Table Mountain in the background.
Cape Town Stadium with the city bowl in the background.
The Camps Bay and Clifton beaches, with Hout Bay in the distance.
You can do a flip for less that R600, and while that is a lot of money, it is an amazing and unforgettable experience. Highly recommended. Cape Town Helicopters have a 100% safety record, so I am sure you are in good hands.
Disclosure: my flight was free, but the opinions and photos are mine.
Wow…I´m soooo impressed!What a view! just stunning and beautiful! I have no more words…
My daughter would loves such event too… As she was the whole year 2009 in CT I wanted give her such a flight by a heli as “Say good bye ” gift but unfortunately it was so expensive.How long you can fly for R600?At that time I found only prizes for more as the double like your price (for only max.20 minutes).Maybe you could give my daughter your tipp when she come in sept./oct..Thank you!
Lucky you !!! Your photos are so beautiful!
