Helicopter Adventure
In minutes, landscapes that took millions of years to carve spread before you. Helicopter flights from Monwana soar from Greater Kruger into Blyde River Canyon and God's Window. The hour-long flight over the Drakensberg Escarpment reveals why this corner of Africa holds such wonder - ancient rock, cascading waterfalls, ecosystems layered from bushveld to mountain.

The Escarpment from Above
Your pilot lifts off from Monwana, climbing above Thornybush before heading toward dramatic changes in terrain. Below, the lowveld transforms - rivers cutting through ancient rock, waterfalls cascading hundreds of metres, the Three Rondavels rising like sentinels. God's Window opens before you with views across Mpumalanga that early explorers could only imagine. Your pilot shares the geology, the names of peaks and valleys, the stories written in stone. The biodiversity becomes tangible from this height - bushveld to mountain, each ecosystem visible and connected. An exhilarating perspective on how vast and varied this landscape truly is.
Extended Air Safaris
For deeper exploration, choose the 2.5-hour Blyde Canyon flight with a stop at The Chubby Pig Eatery or a mountain picnic. The Panorama Adventure Flight includes time at Graskop Gorge Lift Company. Both options combine aerial wonder with ground-level moments, giving you time to absorb what you've witnessed from above.
Return to Monwana transformed - the peaceful bush around the lodge now contextualised by the dramatic escarpment beyond. The kind of experience that expands your appreciation for where you are, where awe requires seeing the whole picture from an entirely new angle.
