Helicopter Safaris

Possibly the most exclusive safari we offer, the helicopter safari constitutes a highly private and flexible journey into just about any country on our portfolio.

The most luxurious of the luxury safaris we promote, this is a journey that requires an extremely sophisticated and wide-ranging back-up operation. Catering for every need, prepared for any adventure, it is a safari constructed entirely around the client’s wants and needs. As such, moving the goal posts – into another country, if necessary – is exactly, if required, what we can and will do.

As it stands, our helicopter safaris generally take place in northern & Southern Tanzania

Used and trusted by some of Tanzania’s most important VIPs, our Cessna Citation Mustang is the most modern and efficient jet operating in Tanzania today. Cruising at nearly 400 mph it provides a comfortable, private space where you can relax or carry out business at 41,000ft.
