Offering infinite ways to explore the vast wilderness of the African continent, Scenic Air Safaris combines truly exclusive, off the beaten track flying experiences, combining luxury with economy and the convenience of flying privately.

Established in 2009 and based in Kenya, we provide professional air charter services and tailor-made flying safaris throughout East and Southern Africa.
The idea for bespoke, low flying safaris was born when Capt.Torben Rune, Capt. Aslam Khan and Mr. Severin Schultte purchased an executive Cessna Grand Caravan for their private use. They invited friends and embarked from South Africa on an epic flying safari following a route not often flown, up the east coast of Africa. The breathtaking low flying experience of land, sea and sky were too spectacular not to share, and they formed Scenic Air Safaris to share such magical experiences with a wider audience.
Ten years later, we continue to pioneer unique routes, locations, and experiences. Come and join us, and let’s explore together.
Having your own aircraft at your disposal means the freedom to choose your own schedule. Our private air charter solutions are cost efficient and comfortable with services to luxury safari camps, game lodges and beach destinations in Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar, Uganda, Rwanda and Ethiopia.
Flying by private charter in Africa offers a quicker, easier, safer and more convenient mode of transport between destinations. Often there is a misconception on the costs of private charter and so we have created a bespoke cost calculator tool, to provide you with a handy online ‘ready reckoner’ to help understand the pricing relating to your booking and to also give you a map showing routes between locations and the airstrips that serve the respective camps.
Simply enter your starting destination and your arrival destination and the calculator will give you a cost estimate for a choice of two types of aircraft, the Cessna 208 executive Grand Caravan and the Cessna 206 Stationair.
By viewing and utilising our Cost Calculator, you acknowledge that you have read, agreed to and understand our disclaimer.
Our specially curated selection of flying safaris provide a unique and truly spectacular way to experience Africa, dramatically reducing time spent travelling and great way to pack more into your safari holiday. We visit remote and inaccessible areas to give you the the very best wildlife and cultural experiences.
Whether it’s luxury accommodation, private jet or helicopter charter or first class flights, we work around the clock to ensure your trip runs smoothly.
Most bush airstrips we operate to in East Africa, sit at an altitude of over over 3,000ft. This affects aircraft performance and of course payload. To make it easier, we have updated the luggage guidelines for our bush aircraft fleet. Important and useful info - don't get caught short… download the .pdf guide
