If you have a sense of adventure and enjoy pushing the boundaries of exploration, a helicopter tour to the remote corners of Tanzania is the perfect way to grasp the vastness of this continent. Because a helicopter can take off and land vertically, it can carry you quickly to less-explored regions. Our helicopter safaris generally take place in northern and southern Tanzania: from Arusha over Mount Kilimanjaro, Lake Natron, Lake Manyara for flamingos, Ol Doinyo Lengai and Mount Meru, in flights that normally take 4 hours or more depending on the places visited and your interests; over the Great Migration in the Serengeti and Ndutu; to Pemba, the 'green island', for traditional culture; to Mafia Island for world-class scuba diving; and from Katavi in the far west, over Lake Tanganyika, to Mahale and its chimpanzees. Contact our team with your dates, group size and wish list and we will tailor a quotation for you.

5.0 · Reviews on Tripadvisor, all rated 5 out of 5
- ★★★★★
Credits Gipson’s calm pacing and constant check-ins on summit night for getting the group to the top of Kilimanjaro.
- ★★★★★
Four friends took the 7-day Machame Route, were checked on regularly for their health, and all four reached the summit.
- ★★★★★
Climbed Kilimanjaro in 2017 and Mount Meru in 2019 with Gipson, then kept coming back to Tanzania with friends and family. Felt safe as a solo hiker.
- ★★★★★
A family of six climbed Kilimanjaro, trusted Gipson’s calls on health and weather, and now want to tackle Mount Meru with him.
- ★★★★★
Gipson led a group of friends to the top of Kilimanjaro. The trip was well organised and his passion for it showed.
- ★★★★★
Rain turned to snow on the climb, but the team kept everyone fed, monitored oxygen levels, and got them to the summit.
- ★★★★★
Felt safe on every day of the Kilimanjaro hike and was confident of summiting in Gipson’s care. Found him funny and knowledgeable.
