KENYA
With its lush western boundaries, palm-fringed eastern coast, glittering northern deserts and expansive southern plains, Kenya offers unique opportunities for adventure. From the air, it is simply breathtaking, a kaleidoscope of ever-changing vistas.
Kenya's culture is equally diverse, it has more than forty tribes each with their own rich traditions and ceremonies.
Whether you fly with us for a couple of hours, a day trip or on one of our longer experiences, Tropic Air's helicopter safaris will fill you with wonder.
See Mt Kenya up close as you navigate its snow-capped peaks, tumbling moorlands and touch down on a picturesque lake. Fly over billowing dunes, through deep canyons, past soda lakes and oases of the magical northern frontier.
Join us for a flight of discovery.
MT. KENYA
Straddling the equator and rising to 5199 metres, Mt Kenya sits in spectacular contrast to the rest of Kenya. From glaciers and forbidding snow-covered rocky crags to ruddy moorland and dense forest on the lower slopes, the mountain is stunning from the air.
We fly at dawn to circle the twin peaks of Batian and Nelion, touching down later at Lake Michaelson or Lake Alice for breakfast, hot coffee and maybe a spot of fly fishing for rainbow trout.
SUGUTA VALLEY
Stretching from lake Baringo to the south of Lake Turkana, the Suguta Valley is hot, remote and truly spectacular. Unspoiled and hard to access, it is an exclusive area dominated by volcanic lava flows, colourful sediments, sand dunes, fossil beds and salty springs lined with doum palm.
In the south of the valley, we visit Silale Crater, a vast caldera carpeted by grass and shrubs. The valley's eastern side boasts the amazing rock formations and pastel hues of the Hoodoo and Painted valleys. Continuing north, we reach the shallow waters of Lake Logipi and thousands of dazzling pink flamingos.
