We work closely with Table Mountain National Parks to ensure all flights are conducted to the highest level of safety.

We have instructed people with paraplegia, quadraplegia, prosthetics and all manner of other disability.
In Cape Town, we provide instructional training paragliding flights from Signal Hill and Lion's Head. The launch site we use depends on the wind direction at the time.
Instructional training flights vary in duration and it is not possible to guarantee a specific flight time due to the changeable nature of the wind and weather conditions in Cape Town.
Our tandem paragliding flight instructors (TFIs) are all highly experienced and love to fly. They will always try to prolong the flight while ensuring safety.
Table Mountain National Parks (TMNP) do not allow tandem paragliding flights from Table Mountain.
The paragliding school was started by Manu Wegmershaus in 2007 shortly after moving to Cape Town in 2005.
We are a registered Declared Training Organisation (DTO). DTO No. SACAA/0051/DTO. View our DTO certificate.
All our TFIs are highly experienced, approved by SAHPA and licensed by the SACAA.
We offer instructional, introductory tandem flights for anyone 14 years and above.
We can fly people with disabilities too!
We use amazing GoPro cameras to capture insane video and photos of your instructional tandem paragliding flight — all the action, all the emotion! The inflight photos and video are an optional extra. If you want them (most people do), we upload them directly onto your mobile phone!

Updates from Cape Town Tandem Paragliding
We've rebuilt our website from the ground up — faster, cleaner, mobile-first, and packed with new features. Here's what's changed and what's coming next.

Every now and again we are lucky enough to paraglide off Lion’s Head. The wind has to be just so, south west, not too light,...

So after building and rebuilding the website several times in the last few years without actually making a new site live we finally completed it...

EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We loved it.My family had i throughly enjoyed the experience, waiting for the right conditions can be a little tedious but we definitely caught the bug.Thankyou for an awesome experience.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the best time paragliding with Cape Town Tandem Paragliding!!! Everyone on the team was so cautious and extra careful. I was travelling with my boyfriend from Canada and they would not let us go until the winds were absolutely safe. Safety is a huge priority for them and we super appreciated that! I skydived with Carolina and she was the best :) I would highly recommend Cape Town Tandem Paragliding to anybody!! 11/10 :)Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely loved it! We got lucky with perfect conditions so we were up in the air within 10 minutes of arriving at Signal Hill. Carolina (my pilot) was excellent. She flew super smoothly and managed to make the most of the ridge lift to give us a decent flight time. Just before landing I was allowed to briefly take control of the brake toggles and do a few turns. Next we did some tight turns to lose some altitude which gives you that slight roller coaster feeling (a good feeling - not scary!) and then you land on the grass at Sea Point and get a lift back to your car. Very professional service. Felt safe and secure the whole time. Couldn't have asked for more.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The most incredible experience i had Staff was amazing Pilot was so coolPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend! Booking was so seamless. And the experience itself was nothing short of incredible. A special thank you to my paraglider Carolina who explained the rules and requirements clearly, talked me through the entire flight, answered all the questions I had for her and of course took amazing pictures and videos. I can’t wait to do this again.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have flown already 2x with them and each time the services and most especially the flight instructors were just awesome and amazing (Kudos to Tim, my last flight instructor).Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Having visited Cape Town for 20 years and have often wanted to try, this time I took the plunge as my pal came with me. Over the years I have seen many little hiccups when watching landings and ive heard all flyers are made equal 😬. I believe this to be true after watching numerous take offs. To my joy, my guy, Gerrie, was an absolute master and I genuinely believe this 60 year old enjoyed it so much because he was so good, amazing. Take off and landing, perfect, time in the air, more than people who set off after me and we were honestly up the highest, everyone else was below us. It was an experience i will never forget. I would definitely do it again but only with Gerrie.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brilliant activity, made even better by Manu, my instructor and pilot. Really would recommend to anyone visiting CT.
