    Macassar Paragliding Site, South Africa This site is not recommended due to significant security concerns, including regular attacks and thefts. Additionally, it is located within the flight path of Cape Town International Airport, making it a challenging and potentially dangerous location for paragliding. If you still wish to fly here, it is crucial to consult with local pilots about the current situation. The site is rarely used and primarily suitable for soaring. For a safer experience, park at the beach to the east and walk up to the take-off point. Launching from the dunes at the beach is often possible. Be extremely cautious during both take-off and top-landing. Important Information: - Do not fly higher than 40 meters above the ground due to the proximity to Cape Town International Airport. - Contact Lewine Walters at Wolfgat Nature Reserve (0829008630) one hour before flying and after you finish. - Quemic Security Company provides armed ranger patrols. Inform them before flying: (082) 904-7189 Nicky, (063) 696-8282 Rasheed. - Notify Air Traffic Control (ATC) at Cape Town International Airport before and after your flight: +27 (21) 9371116.

Directions: Take the coastal road from Muizenberg towards Macassar and Somerset West (Baden Powell Drive). Approximately 10 km after passing Strandfontein Coastal Park, look for the signpost ‘Wolfgat Nature Reserve’ and seagulls soaring on the right. Continue driving past the highest point of the road, park beside the ‘No Dumping’ sign. Note that vehicles are not safe in this area.
