Porterville, an unspoilt and picturesque town on the slopes of the stunning Olifantsrivier Mountains was established on the farm Pomona in 1863 and named after the then quite popular Attorney General of the Cape Colony, Sir William Porter.
Set in a land of extremes, Porterville boasts one of the rarest flowers, the Disa Uniflora, easy access to the awe-inspiring Groot Winterhoek Nature Reserve and dry hot summers with powerful thermals, placing it firmly on the world map as an ideal paragliding hotspot.
