ACCOMMODATION

We offer comfortable, affordable accommodation in an absolutely perfect location for paragliders, from beginners to experienced cross-country pilots.

Our lodge is situated at the foot of the Amahaqwa Mountain in Bulwer, Kwazulu-Natal. From here the landing field of our main site is only a few hundred metres away and more experienced pilots can land right on the front lawn!

The warm atmosphere at Wild Sky lodge is well known with the hand built log cabins giving it a really welcome feeling. The accommodation we offer is rustic, but comfortable, and suitable for anyone from campers to families. The lodge has a communal kitchen that is fully equipped with a comfortable fireplace lounge and dining area. There is also a braai place outside.

The view from the lodge is fantastic, with the mountain on one side and the valley on the other. The area offers a vast choice of activities for family members and non-pilots eg: horse riding, abseiling, tubing, river rafting, hiking & bird watching, fly fishing etc.
