Skip the road, keep the day
A road transfer from Nairobi to the Maasai Mara costs most of a day in each direction. The same trip by helicopter takes about forty-five minutes, which turns a three-day safari into a genuine two-night stay and a site visit upcountry into a single-day round trip.
Supreme Concierge arranges private rotor charter across Kenya through licensed operators, handling the booking, the manifest, the timings and — critically — the vehicles waiting at both ends.
Where we fly
The most requested routes are Nairobi to the Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Samburu, Lewa and the coastal strip around Diani and Lamu. Charters depart from Wilson Airport, which is the practical base for rotor traffic in Nairobi.
Because charter is point to point, we are not limited to scheduled destinations. Private airstrips, lodge helipads, ranch properties and remote project sites are all reachable, subject to landing permission and a suitable site.
Ground and air, arranged as one movement
The weak point in most charter bookings is what happens at either end. We remove it by handling both: a chauffeured vehicle collects you for the flight, and a second vehicle or a lodge transfer is waiting where you land.
For corporate site visits, this means your team steps out of the aircraft and into a Land Cruiser without a gap in the schedule. For safari clients, it means arriving at camp without an additional transfer to negotiate.
Aircraft and capacity
Typical light charter aircraft seat four to five passengers with limited soft-bag luggage. Larger aircraft can be sourced for bigger groups or heavier loads, and multiple aircraft can be run in sequence for a delegation.
Luggage on rotor charter is genuinely restricted — soft bags only, with weight limits that vary by aircraft and by conditions. We confirm the exact allowance for your specific flight at the time of quoting.

Helicopter charter FAQs
How much does a helicopter charter in Kenya cost?
Rotor charter is quoted on request, because pricing depends on aircraft type, route, flight time and whether the aircraft waits or returns empty. Send us your route, date and passenger count and we will come back with a firm figure.
How long does it take to fly from Nairobi to the Maasai Mara?
Roughly forty-five minutes by helicopter from Wilson Airport, compared with five to six hours by road each way. That difference is what makes a short Mara stay practical.
How many passengers can fly?
Typical light charter aircraft seat four to five passengers with soft-bag luggage. Larger aircraft can be sourced for bigger groups, or we can run multiple aircraft in sequence for a delegation.
What luggage can I take on a helicopter charter?
Soft bags only, with strict weight limits that vary by aircraft and conditions. We confirm the exact allowance when quoting your specific flight, and can transport excess luggage separately by road.
What happens if the weather turns?
Safety governs every charter decision. We plan alternate timings and a road-transfer fallback in advance, so a weather hold changes your schedule rather than cancelling your trip.
