Welcome to Wild Sky Paragliding School and lodge. The school and lodge is run by Hans and Ria Fokkens. Hans has been paragliding since 1989 and a paragliding instructor since 1993. With his vast experience and safety record you will be in great hands learning to fly here. Ria has been paragliding since 1998, is a qualified paragliding instructor and has done lots of work assisting Hans with teaching. We have three dogs, Scuzzy Fatso and Loopy all are friendly and love people.

The lodge is set at the foot of Amahaqwa (Bulwer) mountain. With a bit of experience you can land right next to the deck otherwise the official landing is right next door! The lodge consists of a backpackers upstairs, with ten single beds two of which are in a separate room. Then there are two small cabins with shared ablutions. The en-suite cabin has two adjoining rooms to the bathroom with shower basin and toilet. There is also a campsite. The kitchen is shared by everyone and is fully equipped. There is a braai place outside and a comfortable lounge dining area. The atmosphere is warm and friendly. The lodge is built with logs.

Bulwer (Amahaqwa) mountain is world famous as a great flying site. It is also a perfect training site for students as it has fiendly grassy slopes and we can teach people to fly in many different wind directions. There are ten different take off sites in the area which makes it a very flyable place. As it is Bulwer mountain is very consistent. The valley generates an updraft most of the time and overrides other wind directions often. The site has spectacular views of the rolling Kwazulu-Natal hills and also the Drakensberg. Flying Cross Country to Underberg is beautiful with green fields interspersed with little dams and the Drakensberg ahead. It is glorious!

Bulwer is flyable throughout the year and although it gets a bit chilly in winter great height gains and cross country is possible all year round. It also has a fantastic valley release in the afternoons which has taken pilots as high as 900mato.

We offer lifts up to take off on most flyable days. We also offer guiding for newly qualified pilots, as well as groups that want to do tours. Our Cross Country course is superb at any experience level as we deal with each pilot as an individual.

Bulwer is a quaint little town set below the beautiful mountain. There are three places to eat all with their own atmosphere. Hiking and mountain biking in the area is beautiful not to mention the spectacular bird watching. The Marutswa forest is becoming a well known birding hotspot. There are a number of historical buildings of note in Bulwer one of which is the yellow wood church which is worth a visit.
