Helicopter Tour

ITINERARY

EARLY MORNING: DEPARTURE FROM NAIROBI

Your adventure begins with a private transfer to the helipad, where your pilot and helicopter await. After a safety briefing, lift off for your helicopter tours in Kenya heading northward, cruising above Kenya’s vast wilderness.

Helicopter Tours

STOP 1: MOUNT SUSWA AND THE GREAT RIFT VALLEY

Scenic Highlights:

As you fly out of Nairobi, the landscape dramatically opens up to reveal the Great Rift Valley.
Circle above Mount Suswa, a rare double cratered volcano with dramatic ridges, lava tubes, and wildlife trails visible from the sky.

What Awaits You:
The flight offers an unforgettable introduction to Kenya’s geological wonders. During one of the exclusive helicopter tours in Kenya, you may spot Maasai villages, zebra herds, or even buffalo from the air. The early morning light casts long shadows across the escarpment, making it perfect for breathtaking aerial photography.

Mt Suswa

STOP 2: LAKE TURKANA – “THE JADE SEA”

Scenic Highlights:

Fly over the vast expanse of Lake Turkana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the world’s largest permanent desert lake.
A unique blend of blue green waters, black lava fields, and desert coastlines.

What Awaits You:
Touch down near South Island or the volcanic shores for a guided walk and photo session. As part of one of the most scenic helicopter tours in Kenya, the lake’s surreal colors and eerie silence offer a deeply moving moment, often called one of the most remote places on Earth. From the air, you may catch views of crocodiles basking or pelicans gliding gracefully over the water.

Lake Turkana

STOP 3: SUGUTA VALLEY – KENYA’S HIDDEN CANYON

Scenic Highlights:

Continue flying over the Suguta Valley, often described as Kenya’s “Grand Canyon.”
This is one of the country’s most dramatic and least-visited areas, known for its colorful salt pans, lava flows, and endless sand dunes.

What Awaits You:
The helicopter hovers and drops low for a close look at this Martian like terrain. If conditions allow, land briefly for a private bush snack or refreshment stop surrounded by natural silence. This surreal landscape is often only accessible by air making it the true heart of helicopter tours in Kenya.

Turkana

STOP 4: MATHEWS RANGE AND SAMBURU HILLS (OPTIONAL EXTENSION AT AN EXTRA COST)

Aerial Highlights:

Fly east across the Mathews Range, where forested peaks rise from arid plains.
Catch aerial views of Samburu wildlife and scattered homesteads.

What Awaits You:
This final stretch is a rich visual contrast, revealing Kenya’s ecological diversity. Watch elephant herds from above or admire the ancient rock formations of the Ndoto Mountains. It’s a tranquil passage through the land of the Samburu, offering a deep cultural and scenic connection.
