Wild Skies Aviation has officially launched helicopter trips in Hoedspruit, Limpopo.

It offers trips into the Blyde River Canyon, where guests can opt for a picnic stop, as well as transfers to various lodges in the area from Eastgate Airport.

The company is based at Hoedspruit Airport, and offers departures from either the airport or from a lodge of choice.

The fleet currently consists of one Robinson 44, a three-seater aircraft, and a Robinson 66, a four-seater with a luggage compartment.

Rates have been set for some areas, as well as from the base. Trade rates are available.

Flights are sold on an exclusive-use basis, with no per-seat pricing.
