In the September issue of Getaway (on shelves now) you’ll find aerial photography of Cape Town in Sonya Schoeman’s feature on Simon’s Town. Have a look at the other gorgeous photos that we couldn’t fit into the magazine.
On a personal note, this was my first time in a helicopter. And it was thrilling! I would do it again in a heartbeat – although maybe not shooting out the open door-frame, pointing down towards the very, very distant ground of Cape Town this time. A huge thanks to pilot Wilhelm of Cape Town Helicopters and Vuyi Qubeka!
