Scenic Transfers
Scenic Excursions
Some of Tanzania's most extraordinary landscapes are only accessible from the air. A private helicopter excursion opens them up — on your schedule, at your pace.
-
Lake Eyasi
Fly low over Lake Eyasi and the cascading escarpment — your pilot knows exactly where to linger. Land at the highest point for brunch or sundowners, with pelicans and flamingos on the lake below between November and December.
- Available from Mwiba Lodge, Arusha, and all Chem Chem Properties
-
Southern Serengeti
A safari from the air over the southern Serengeti — wildlife tracked from above, the scale of Tanzania laid out beneath you. Your pilot lands first on a koppie in the plains for coffee, then out over Lake Eyasi to the highest point of the escarpment for brunch or sundowners.
- Available from Mwiba Lodge, Arusha, and all Chem Chem Properties
-
The Great Rift Valley
Soar over the Great Rift Valley, past Lake Natron's flamingo-pink shores, the active cone of Ol Doinyo Lengai, and waterfalls with natural swimming pools below. Then east over the Ngorongoro and Embakai craters before turning back toward Lake Eyasi — its shimmering water and escarpment a fitting close. Coffee and brunch stops along the way; late lunch on return.
- Available from Mwiba Lodge, Arusha, and all Chem Chem Properties
