Why Indigo and why South Africa?
We warmly welcome international students from all over the world.
Doing your pilots license in South Africa offers many benefits and the biggest advantage is a substantial saving in flight training while experiencing flights in the African wilderness and South African hospitality.
In addition, students gain access to the South African game industry and learn what it takes to become an African Bush pilot while developing invaluable flying skills that will serve your future as a Helicopter Pilot.
Some experience students can expect:
Game capture.
Darting and relocation of wildlife.
Game counting and surveys.
Rhino darting and notching in Madikwe and other game reserves.
Studying with Indigo

Also known for its abundance of wildlife and beautiful sunsets, water-sports, wildlife attractions and last but not least, for its friendly people.
