It was all well organized and fast. We thought the pilot was super nice, he showed us the most beautiful places. Apart from my wedding, this was the best experience ever! Seeing my favorite city in Africa from above is surreal! Table Mountain, Lions Head, Chapman's Peak, we saw them all from above. Awesome! I cried with joy the entire flight. Thank you very much for this wonderful experience, I can recommend it to everyone!
