HI I am in Africa and looking for low cost ways to further my flying.
I have just gone solo and desperately want to get some flying in.
Can anyone recommend some clubs for me
Really much appreciated

I replied to your mail address - assuming you understand the humour of
saying "I am in Africa". That is 30.3million square Km of possibilities
as to location...

That is equivalent to saying you are in an area equivalent to the sum of
China, USA, Western Europe, India and some little bits like the UK
thrown in for good measure.

It takes an airliner 10 hours North to South, and anywhere from 2 to 5
hours across.

The only Sub-saharan Africa gliding active countries are Namibia and
South Africa.

Have you ever heard of Google, Guiseppe? It's neat! Here's the first result on googling "gliding locations in South Africa". You're welcome.
