Itinerary

Day 01 :
Nairobi to Rift Valley Overflight

Your helicopter adventure begins from Nairobi or Wilson Airport. Within minutes, you’re flying over the dramatic Rift Valley escarpment, cliffs dropping away into vast plains. The helicopter traces the line of volcanic cones, with the pilot pointing out Mount Suswa and Mount Longonot from the air. By mid-morning, you hover over Lake Bogoria, where steaming geysers and thousands of flamingos create a surreal mosaic. After a low flight sweep across the lake, the helicopter lands nearby for a scenic breakfast setup with views stretching across the valley floor.

Day 02 :
Lakes & Volcano Picnic Experience

The second day takes you southward over Lake Nakuru National Park, where you may spot rhinos grazing or lions lounging from the air—an entirely different vantage point. The helicopter then ascends to Mount Longonot, a dormant volcano with a perfectly formed crater. Touching down on its rim, you’ll enjoy a champagne picnic with sweeping views of Lake Naivasha and the Rift stretching endlessly. Later, you return by helicopter with final low-altitude flights tracing cliffs, escarpments, and shimmering lakes, arriving back in Nairobi by late afternoon.
