About Helicopter: Nairobi to Maasai Mara
Helicopters can land at many camps and conservancies directly, or at the nearest airstrip. It is a favourite for short-notice safaris, VIP guests and anyone who wants to see the Rift Valley from the air on the way.

Fares
Airline fares and charter prices change daily with demand and seat availability. Every quote we send shows the fare, what it includes and the date it must be paid and ticketed by. A fare is only guaranteed once the ticket is issued.
Payment
- M-Pesa: we send the paybill or till details with your confirmed quote.
- Bank transfer: in Kenya shillings or US dollars.
- Card: Visa and Mastercard.
- Corporate accounts: monthly invoice on agreed terms.
We never ask for payment before you have the fare and its rules in writing.
Changes and refunds
What you can change, and what it costs, depends on the fare you choose. Flexible fares cost more up front and less when plans change. Before you pay we explain the change fee, refund rules and baggage allowance of each option, so you can choose with your eyes open.
Charters
Charters are confirmed with a written quote and the operator's terms, including the cancellation charges that apply as the flight date gets closer.
