WHAT TO EXPECT

Having your own wings gives you total freedom to explore Kenya’s wildest, most spectacular and extreme locations. Places inaccessible by land and untouched by humans are suddenly at your fingertips. Northern Kenya hosts some of East Africa’s most remote geographical wonders. Looking down on this vast wilderness from above offers an entirely new perspective. Enjoy instant access to remote locations, otherwise unavailable under time constraints. Hover over wildlife or touch down beside a turquoise pool for a refreshing swim. Take this once in a lifetime opportunity during your luxury Kenya safari holiday to see the wildest corners of the country.

THE HELICOPTER

Through our partners, all of our excursions are done with the use of a Eurocopter AS 350 B3 helicopter. There are five passenger seats, sliding doors and proven superior performance in extreme conditions. The AS 350 is perfect for low-level cruising with optimum viewing.

Solio Lodge and Sasaab are only a short distance from each other, yet the terrain between the two is stunningly diverse. Depart Solio at 10:00 am and fly over Borana Conservancy. Keep an eye out for rhino as Borana is a highly successful sanctuary for these threatened creatures. Look down on the Ngare Ndare Forest Reserve with its inviting blue pools before dropping off the edge of the Laikipia Plateau and down into the Mokogodo Gorge. Fly through the Kipsing Valley – a dry sand river frequented by herds of elephant. As you near Sasaab you will fly low over the Ewaso Nyiro River, spotting wildlife on the riverbanks before arriving at the lodge.
