I did my PPL at Algoa at Port Elizabeth back in March/April.

Couldn't recommend them enough. Great club, great bunch of people too, with plenty of drinking after hours in the Gremlin's Grotto.

The flying is good, flying from a 'proper' airport mixing with commercial traffic, but it's not so busy that you spend ages holding like at CPT. Circuit is usually pretty quiet too unlike the dedicated training airfields like Port Alfred etc.

The location is pretty good, with weather similar to a UK summer and it's a good place to get used to x-winds too.
