When overseas visitors arrive at Johannesburg International Airport, we suggest that you take out a Vodacom "pay as you go" GSM pre-paid contract at the kiosk. We also suggest that you change enough foreign currency to last you for at least a week. The nearest bank is at Colesberg, 45km away, and you don't want to be changing money on a good gliding day!

We provide maps, turn point and task lists, frequency guides, oxygen, avgas, water taps at each tie down location, daily weather information, memorabilia, eg T-shirts etc.
