You will travel through time to the big bird experience. The airplanes are great and the Museum building is interesting too. You can see steward uniforms and SAA serving utensils. Also you can see pictures from the early era of SA aviation.

Paddy picked us at our Hotel in Sandton, at 6.30 AM.
On our road to Pilanesberg he explained us all the story of the mines.
We arrived at Pilanesberg park around 8.30 AM, and then the adventure began. Paddy knows the park as if he was born in there (by the way, mybe it is the case :) ).
We managed to see tons of wild life including 3 of the big five.
Paddy was an endless source of information and was always anticipating our questions. Just a magic day.
On our way back to the hotel, we had a very long conversaion with Paddy on the recent story of the country and the current situation. If you are planning to spend a few days in Johannesburg, this is a must.

We had an excellent trip with Dean. A safe driver, friendly spontaneous tour guide with a lot of knowledge of the African wildlife. And all this packed with humor... We recommend him for day trips but also for complete round trips visiting the parks you would like to see!

This is a good place to visit with kids. There is a good display of the aviation history as well as some planes on display. Kids love to get into the 2 big 747's on display. Surely worth a visit if you are in the area.

Classique Aviation

Reviewed By Heather O - London, England, United Kingdom

It was my mom's birthday and we decided to treat her to a flight of fancy in a Tiger Moth.
Booking the experience for all three of us was simple and the team at Classic Aviation were lovely. We included the DVD option where you are provided with a personalised DVD of your experience and they were even happy to help us book a table at the airport restaurant with runway views for the special event.
It ended up being too windy on the day to fly but the team at Classic Aviation were happy to reschedule for a more suitable day.
Two days later, we took to the skies and thoroughly enjoyed our flights. It is a scenic flight with a dip through the Valleys that sees you skimming the reed banks down the river (on a good day). It was still pretty windy when we flew so we did not get as low as you can do but I did get to wave at the cars on the highway at eye level (almost).
We picked up our DVD's a couple of days later which is an awesome memento of our experience - this usually takes a week but they put a special rush on it for us as we were leaving the country.
They also offer acrobatic flights in a Pitstop Special, which I am keen to try the next time I visit, and picnic flights in the Helicopters.
They do provide the flight gear for you to wear but I would pack a jumper as it can get quite drafty in the air.
They also allow you to take your own pictures and even allowed us to wait on the runway tarmac so we could take photo's and videos of our respective flights.
If you have never flown in a Tiger Moth or similar then I would recommend it as the perfect adrenalin rush for an adventurous soul!
