Skydiving in Rwanda

Want to jump in Rwanda? We plan tandem skydives for first-timers and fun jumps for licensed skydivers, with professional instructors, a camera flyer and the right aircraft. If there's no dropzone where you want to jump, we can bring one — aircraft, parachute systems and crew — with approvals arranged through the local aviation authority.

Top jump idea: Skydive over Lake Kivu.
