ropic Air, located at the foot of Mount Kenya, is a leading air charter company with 20 years of flying experience. Its base, Nanyuki Airfield, is a busy hub linking Samburu and other northern destinations with Nairobi, the Masai Mara and Meru. Tropic Air operates a fleet of Cessna aircraft and employs a team of experienced and knowledgeable pilots. In addition to charters, its services include aerial filming and photography, geo-survey, medical evacuations and support for conservation initiatives. A decade ago, Tropic Air launched its helicopter division, pioneering heli-safaris throughout the region. Its tailor-made safaris cover wild and spectacular mountains, valleys, forests and deserts with a focus on ‘remote and unknown, unexplored and unforgettable’ destinations.
The company operates Eurocopter AS 350 B3 helicopters, chosen for their superior performance in hot and high altitude environments, and for their flexibility to work on a wide range of tasks in the East African environment. Tropic Air is committed to supporting the Mount Kenya National Park, providing mountain rescue support. Its pilots are familiar with the mountain terrain, experienced in high altitude flying and trained in first aid. Every year Tropic Air, together with the park rangers, carries out a mountain clean-up operation to help conserve the natural environment.
