Why Charter With Us

A helicopter turns a day of driving into an hour of flying — and the flight itself becomes part of the experience.

01

Time Back

Skip the six-hour road transfer to the Mara or Amboseli. Most charters connect camps and airstrips in well under two hours, door to door.

02

Access

Land at private airstrips and remote conservancies that scheduled flights and road transfers can't reach.

03

The View

Fly low over the Rift Valley floor, herds on the move, and coastline that's invisible from the ground.

04

VIP & Business Travel

The same charter model works for executives and corporate teams — point-to-point transfers, on-time departures, and discretion for VIP guests.

05

Flown by Tropic Air

Every charter is operated by Tropic Air's pilots and aircraft, arranged and coordinated on your behalf by Anchor Africa Safaris.

Charter Routes

Every itinerary is built around where you're staying and what you want to see — safari, VIP travel, or business and corporate transfers. These are the routes we arrange most often.
