Scenic Air arranged the most incredible trip for us to Northern Kenya with both Capt. Murtaza and Capt. Sanjay flying us between the different destinations. The incredible Desert Rose is an amazing eco friendly lodge set in the most unique location. The views were stunning and the staff so friendly and service was fantastic. From here we met Andrew from Ol Malo lodge who took us on an unforgettable trip to Lake Turkana, Lake Logipi, filled with flamingos, and the sand dunes of Suguta Valley, stopping at an oasis of a waterfall and palm trees before flying back to the unforgettable Ol Malo Lodge. Once here we again had the most amazing room with views reaching as far as Mt Kenya. We enjoyed fantastic hospitality, horse riding into the sunset for some lovely sundowners before returning to a very tasty dinner at the lodge. The knowledge and passion of the staff at Ol Malo in top end. We finally returned via Mt Kenya Safari Club where we were able to see the nearly extinct mountain bongo and has some very uplifting information from the head vet running their breeding programme of these beautiful animals. We enjoyed a fabulous lunch at this newly renovated hotel. We can't recommend Scenic Air more if you are looking for a very individually planned flying safari with everyone from the booking, pilots and hosts being so professional and passionate of what they do. It was an unforgettable experience.

We used Scenic Air Safaris for 4 chartered flights, based on the recommendation from our travel agent (Deer Creek Travels)....best decision I made.
We were a family of 5 adults traveling from Nairobi to Lewa, Masai Mara and Amboseli. The planes were executive configured, with large comfortable leather seating.
Being able to schedule our departure/pickup time and only having our family on board made the trips truly special....
We even had champagne on flight, doesn't get much better!!

Flying with Scenic during peak migration season was nothing short of breathtaking. Their team seamlessly crafted our week by combining flights over the most remote corners of Kenya with stays at leading conservation camps and lodges, delivering a safari experience that went far beyond expectation. Our pilot even calmed my fear of flying in small aircraft by taking time to explain the added safety measures Scenic implements on all flights and convinced me to sit in the co-pilot’s seat. We felt spoiled the whole week!

Scenic Air Safaris was terrific when our clients needed a last-minute charter from Nairobi to Kilimanjaro. With less than 48 hours' notice, their team worked around the clock to make it happen. Over a weekend I might add. Awesome service. Thank you.

I've been on many charter flights across Africa, but this was different. Usually it would be a straight (and boring) connection flight from A to B. With Scenic Air, it was totally different. Sam and Simon went out of their way to turn it into a "scenic" flight with circles around interesting areas and low-level flights above the ground. Such an incredible experience! In top of that the crew felt very professional/experienced and the aircrafts were immaculate giving us a great sense of trust and safety.
Hope to be flying with Scenic Air again soon!

An enviable way to do a real African safari ! Luxuriously appointed Cessna Caravan flying to the foothills of snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro. Stayed at Elerai Camp with its unique décor and ambiance to match the experience. It was difficult to absorb the plethora of wildlife around the camp waterhole, an endless stream of elephants and their attendants! Captain Sam treated us to an amazing take-off, low over Lake Amboseli with its thousands of flamingos, pelicans and just about every wader and water-bird in this part of Africa. Elephants everywhere, lion, cheetahs, wildebeest, eland... the list is endless!

Scenic Air Safaris organised our whole safari of 14 people travelling to Kenya from the UK and USA. Arrangements were faultless starting with the VIP meet and greet on arrival in Nairobi to the fantastic flight to the Masai Mara game reserve. They recommended and booked for us our stay at the Mara Crossings luxury tented camp which was amazing. I have separately left a review of our Mara experience which was 5-star also. Finally SAS flew us down to the coast for the remainder of our holiday before finishing with the VIP Depart service from Nairobi. Friendly, knowledgeable and efficient all round. Aircraft and pilots top class. Thank you!

More than just a flight. From the VIP service to the comfort of the plane to the amazingly knowledgeable pilot this type of quick flight is next level and a must if you are visiting Kenya. The best part was flying low over the land so we could see animals, canyons, tea farms and more. Our pilots insight into Kenya was astounding. We definitely left with a wealth of information. This is the way to get to your safari lodge for sure.

I had the chance to travel once again with SAS and what a trip it has been! Thanks to the professional skills of our pilot, I discovered the magnificent landscape of Northern Kenya, traveling from one lodge to another. The scenery was breathtaking and I enjoyed every minute of my trip.
Travelling with SAS is always such a special and unique experience that I can only recommend.
Thank you SAS for an incredible safari.

We used Scenic Air Safaris during our 16 day trip to Kenya in September 2021 to shuttle between four different camps.
We stayed low level to watch the wildlife and it was awesome.
The airplanes are new and very well maintained and was always on time.
The Pilots are all very experienced with a great attitude and safety culture. We will definitely use Scenic Air Safaris again next time we are in Kenya.
