We will take you on a journey of discovery of this awe-inspiring land. In your private helicopter stay at excellent lodges and private camps situated in pristine areas. Travel in style with a flare of uniqueness that is a cut above the rest. Your own personal pilot and guide will take you on a journey of a lifetime. Our pilots and our guides are experienced professionals with a passion for Africa, it’s people and the wildlife.

Travelling by helicopter offers you the opportunity to experience Africa in a very different way. Flying over the grasslands, spotting herds of wildebeest and zebra, travel to see the mountain gorillas, skim over the ever-changing landscapes in Uganda, Tanzania and/or Kenya...

On Wings Over Kenya fly over the foothills of Mt. Kilimanjaro, head deep into the bush for a unique camel and wildlife experience, then over the Great Rift Valley to primitive Lake Baringo area and finally one of the finest wildlife spectacles in the world, the grand Masai-Mara Game Reserve.

On arrival in Nairobi, Kenya you are met and transferred to your hotel for overnight.

This morning you are greeted at your hotel and transferred to the airport for your private helicopter flight, with your guide, to the Amboseli.  Amboseli is a place of stark contrast, the name meaning “salty dust” in Maasai. Amboseli, despite its sometimes dry and dusty appearance, has an endless supply of water filtered through thousands of feet of volcanic rock from the snow melt of Mt. Kilimanjaro. These underground streams converge into clear fresh water springs in the heart of the park.  The powder like dust is volcanic ash, which was thrown from Kilimanjaro millennia ago. An amazing spectacle of Amboseli is the shimmering dry lakebed where false mirages of populated horizons, punctuated by real herds of zebra and gnu hover in front of you.
The main attraction of Amboseli is its vast herds of elephant within the park. The bull elephants here have some of the largest tusks in Kenya.

We continue on our journey as we fly from the Amboseli to the Rift Valley Lakes area.  Lake Naivasha is one of the few freshwater lakes of the Rift Valley and as well as being home to huge herds of buffalo and hippos – not to mention the bird life – there are large exploitations of flowers and vegetables grown for exportation and of great economic importance to the economy.

We visit Hell's Gate National Park, a tiny park located between Naivasha Lake and Longonot and Suswa volcanoes.  The park provides a variety of wildlife, unusual flora and many species of birds and is one of the two only Kenyan parks where climbing, walking and biking are allowed. Covered by ashes from the Longonot eruption which occurred 100 years ago, the park is famous for its geothermal station, Lower Gorge and spectacular sceneries (cliffs, volcanoes, gorges, geothermal steam).

Our journey will also take us to Lake Nakuru is world famous for, and was created a National Park to protect, its stunning flocks of lesser flamingo which literally turn its shores pink.  Its birdlife is world-renowned: a beacon for leading ornithologists, scientists and wildlife filmmakers.  The park spans an attractive range of wooded and bush grassland around the lake, offering wide ecological diversity, from lake water, woodland to the rocky escarpment and ridges.  Notable game within the lake includes hippo and clawless otters.  On the shores roam waterbuck, Bohor’s Reedbuck and Zebra.  The woodlands and forest are now home to both black and white rhino.  In 1987 only two black rhino remained following the ravages of poaching.  By creating a rhino sanctuary within the park and reintroducing a breeding herd from Laikipia, the KWS has now successfully re-established rhino in the park.

Today we continue our explorations of the Rift Valley as our helicopter pilot takes us to Lake Baringo and Samatian Camp.  Set on a small island with breath-taking views across the bronze waters of the Great Rift Valley’s Lake Baringo, Samatian offers the perfect mid-safari break. The beauty of Baringo and her surroundings is legendary – spectacular sunsets, a dazzling array of colorful bird life, Njemps fishermen continuing a trade little changed for over 200 years, and the imposing Laikipia Escarpment creating a magnificent backdrop to the lake and her inhabitants.

Third generation Kenyan, Caro Roberts, together with her partner Ross Withey, host guests on an exclusive basis. It is at Baringo that the Roberts’ family first settled and traditional settler hospitality is still a major priority at Samatian.

With tranquil surroundings and prolific birdlife, Samatian provides perfect relaxation and Ross and Caro are always on hand to tailor days to be as active or relaxed as guests wish. For the active, guests can enjoy boat rides to explore the lake and her inhabitants – hippo, crocodile, over 450 species of birds – whilst feeding fish eagles; visiting the hot springs with their steaming pools; enjoying escorted walks along the lakeside to view the prolific bird life; or trips further a field to Lake Bogoria, where guests can witness the spectacle of flocks of colorful flamingo feeding on the soda lake and views of the rarer mammals found in this area including Greater Kudu, or north to the frontier district and spend time with the intriguing Pokot Tribe.

Helicopter flight to the Laikipia Plateau.  Sabuk is an entrancing haven, overlooking the Ewaso Nyiro River and the plains of Laikipia towards Mount Kenya. The Laikipia plateau stretches from the foothills of the Aberdares, across vast open plains to the Northern Frontier District and the Mathews Range. The region nurtures exceptional wildlife and cultural diversity, home of many communities including the Laikipiak Maasai and the Samburu tribes. Around Sabuk the area is wild and hilly, with dense acacia bush, Greater Kudu, Reticulated Giraffe, Buffalo, Impala, Elephant, Klipspringer, Zebra, Eland, DikDik, Waterbuck, Lion, Leopard, great bird watching and incredible scenery.

Leave your vehicles behind and get back to nature with walks along the river, accompanied by the local Laikipiak Maasai guides, who pass on their knowledge and traditional uses of the flora in the area. Guests enjoy picnics in the shade by the river, a refreshing dip in the natural rock pools below camp or just basking on the main deck overlooking the plains, lulled by the sound of the river which flows all year round.

Sabuk is also the base for full walking and camel trek safaris. Led by a professional safari guide and his team of Laikipiak trekkers, guests can choose to fly-camp out in the wilderness for one or several nights before returning to the home comforts of the lodge.

Features:  Excellent authentic Masai interaction - walks with the Masai, village and school visits plus game viewing during the day – night drives, walks and picnics.  Your group will go out as your interests indicate.  Have interactions with the local people, learn about their home life, their goals and be treated to their wonderful senses of humor. 

 Leleshwa Camp is situated on the Siana Group Ranch Conservation Area, on the edge of the world famous Maasai Mara Game Reserve. Set amongst picturesque hills and rolling plains in prime game-viewing country, the camp is just over 10 km from the park gate, which can be visited on your stay at Leleshwa.

Accommodation:  A tented camp is the original and most traditional safari, perfectly suited to small groups looking for an authentic 'Out of Africa' experience. Off the beaten track, our beautiful, secluded campsite is situated to give you maximum privacy and exclusivity with comfort and style, where you might least expect to find it.

Six well-appointed tents of 20 x 14 ft with an en-suite bathroom, flushing toilet and shower can accommodate either 2 single or 1 king sized bed and, if required, an extra canvas cot bed for children. A wardrobe, luggage rack and dressing table is provided to make your stay comfortable. Each tent is situated to ensure privacy where you can relax on your private verandah, enjoying nature and letting the world go by.

Evenings in the seclusion of camp will be spent around a campfire where you can relax with your cocktails, listen to the sounds of the night and savor the day's new experiences, just as the first hunters and explorers did over a century ago.

Fly by fixed wing light air transfer from the Masai Mara to Nairobi.  Here you will be met by your private driver/vehicle for transfer to your hotel where a dayroom awaits you. Your driver will be at your disposal for the remainder of the afternoon.  Then transfer to the airport for your departure or continuing arrangements.
