Uganda should take up skydiving as a means of promoting tourism.

Uganda just like South Africa is known for its excellent climate, with largely clear skies. This is one of the many reasons why skydiving is so popular in South Africa.

Did you know? A skydiver’s 100th successful jump is generally greeted with a pie-in-the-face ceremony.

In South Africa the skydiving community vies with the surfer dudes for the title of ‘coolest in the country’. This high-adrenalin activity is offered in most parts of the country, but is probably most popular in Johannesburg, KwaZulu-Natal and Cape Town.

The long-time jump-masters who have been to the major drop zones of the world and racked up thousands of skydivers have a special way with the English language.

Glen Vermeulen, tandem master out at the Johannesburg Skydiving Club, says: ‘I strap people onto me before exiting the plane, ’cause it gets really lonely in free fall at terminal velocity sometimes…’

These professional outfits, who consist of tandem masters, skydiving instructors, free fall videographers and parachute packers all work hard at giving you the best ‘airtime’ of your life.

If you are visiting KwaZulu-Natal, skydiving is offered at Skydive Durban, which is based in Eston, near Pietermaritzburg.

If you are visiting the Western Cape, Skydive Cape Town offers an excellent jump with views of Table Mountain and the Atlantic seaboard.

The Parachute Association of South Africa is skydiving in South Africa’s governing body, and they will guide to you all the ‘boogies’ and events that take place up in the sky and on the drop zones around the country.
