The Bateleurs is an organisation primarily made up of pilots interested in protecting the environment by using their flying skills and aircraft to fly "stakeholders" over areas under threat. Our aim is to give decision-makers and other interested or vital parties an aerial perspective of the situation or problem they are assessing. The Bateleurs intend to make a difference to environmental and conservation projects. We aim to ensure our natural resources are used wisely and in safe hands.

Any concerned individual, group or organisation may request a mission whether is to:
  • Educate Policy makers
  • Expose Illegal Activities
  • Inform and Update News Media
  • Provide Diverse Educational Opportunities
  • Inspire and Educate Young Leaders
  • Aid School Teachers
  • Transport and Track Wildlife
  • Inform Commercial Sector
  • Kick Off Campaigns
  • Build Alliances
  • Raise Funds for the Environment
  • Help Existing Conservation NGOs
  • Help Parks and Nature Reserves
  • Expose Nature Conservation Students to aerial perspectives of environmental issues
By Flying missions for us, or simply by becoming part of this group of concern, you will be making a direct contribution to the safe keeping of our precious environment
Sign up and Join us.


We have flown many successful missions and there are many more ahead. We need pilots (Fixed wing, Helicopters and Microlights pitlots) to fly the missions and supporters to keep them in the air. Please join us to keep an eagle eye on things and to hang on to what we cannot afford to lose - our natural heritage.
The joining fee is R150.00
