Paramotoring is powered paragliding — you fly under a soft paraglider wing using a lightweight motor and propeller worn as a backpack, allowing you to take off, climb and stay aloft from open ground. It combines the serenity of gliding with the freedom of powered flight, low and slow over the landscape.

Imagine the plains, villages and wildlife of northern Tanzania unrolling beneath you, with the snows of Kilimanjaro glinting in the distance — a perspective almost no visitor ever gets. Flights are run from suitable sites around Arusha and the Kilimanjaro region, timed for the calm, golden hours of early morning and late afternoon.
