    Experience the spectacular Wild Coast by air


    Port Elizabeth – 2 October 2009

    Sheltam Aviation (www.sheltamaviation.com), one of the country's leading air charter providers with offices in Port Elizabeth and Durban, has launched a dynamic new website, with a special focus on promoting tourism in the remote yet spectacular Wild Coast.

    The Wild Coast is one of the fastest growing tourist destinations, offering unspoilt natural beauty set in a tropical adventure paradise – and is best experienced from the air in a scenic low-level flight with Sheltam Aviation, from our Port Elizabeth or Durban branches, or from anywhere in South Africa.

    See www.sheltamaviation.com/wild coast fly-in for more info.

    Flying with Sheltam Aviation to any of the Wild Coast's abundant attractions reveals the region's fantastic scenery, offers ultimate convenience by landing at your lodge of choice and eliminates the lengthy drives on the area's less-than-perfect roads – all of which ensures that you get the very best out of your Wild Coast holiday.

  • Breathtaking scenery
    Make the flight a memorable part of your vacation.
  • Ultimate convenience
    Fly directly to your destination.
  • More time on holiday, less in the car
    Port Elizabeth – Port St Johns: 1 ½ hours by air, 7 hours by road.
    Durban or East London – Port St Johns: 50 min by air, 4 ½ hours by road.
  • Action attractions
    The country's top destination for scuba diving, hiking, fishing, canoeing, cultural experiences, dolphin and whale watching, the annual Sardine Run… and so much more.
  • Xhosa Dictionaries and Resources

    www.xhosadictionary.com
    Best online Xhosa - English dictionary. Translates individual words from/to English/Xhosa.

    From their "Links" page:

    Xhosa Translator
    For translating whole sentences. Doesn't work well with individual words.

    English/Xhosa/English Dictionary
    Large database and easy to use search engine. No grammatical explanations, and some entries are inaccurate. Better suited for Xhosa speakers learning English, as many entries contain one English word with long Xhosa descriptions.

    Webster's Online Dictionary
    A list of Xhosa words (and some random phrases) that have been translated from English. Not very extensive.
