Testimonials

I was looking for a pilot school where the instructor really considers you as his own product and has a true interest in your flying ability. ZRP offered everything I was hoping for. From super professional yet fun ground schooling to productive practical lessons and tailored programs such as bush training in the National Parks. Last but not least, Zanzibar itself offers the ideal environment for learning how to fly.

Speaking honestly, you wont get the real fun of flying than in light sport aircrafts, weither its for learning to fly or just for plesure, you get to do what you want to do when you want to do it, not like some planes wich does alot to simplify pilot works. shifting to any type of plane become easier because you have the whole complete picture of flying .
