There’s something magical about seeing the world from above. And when that world is the breathtaking Drakensberg Mountains, it’s nothing short of unforgettable. At The Nest Hotel, we’re proud to recommend a unique bucket list experience that will elevate your next visit—literally!
Berg Flying offers a range of scenic helicopter flights that showcase the grandeur of the Drakensberg like never before. Whether you’re looking for an adrenaline-pumping adventure or a serene champagne moment high above the cliffs, these flights promise memories that will last a lifetime.
- The Scenic Flight – A Panoramic Drakensberg Overview
Perfect for first-timers or anyone wanting a quick taste of the mountains from the sky, this 15-minute flight departs from Dragon Peaks and takes you up to the main escarpment before circling back. It’s a short but powerful reminder of nature’s scale and beauty.
- Champagne Stopover – Sip, Soar, and Soak It In
For something a little more indulgent, book the Champagne Stopover. You’ll enjoy a 20-minute flight with a landing on the Little Berg at 7,000 feet. There, with a glass of bubbly in hand, you can drink in views that stretch for miles across untouched wilderness.
- Round Trip with Champagne Landing – The Ultimate Aerial Experience
Want more time in the sky? This 40-minute flight takes you further along the escarpment, blending epic vistas with a celebratory champagne landing. It’s an ideal choice for anniversaries, proposals, or simply celebrating life’s milestones.
- Fly to Mweni – A Hidden Gem of the Drakensberg
For those seeking something truly off the beaten path, the Mweni flight is an hour-long journey to one of the lesser-known yet spectacular areas of the northern Drakensberg. A 10-minute landing in this remote paradise lets you connect with nature in peaceful solitude.
- Tailored Excursions – Game Drives, Battlefields, and More
Beyond scenic flights, Berg Flying also offers helicopter transfers to local game reserves, historic battlefields, or even the region’s finest golf courses. Imagine arriving for your game drive or tee-off in true VIP style!
