Serengeti Helicopter Flights & Aerial Safaris (2026)

Serengeti helicopter flights are scenic aerial tours and private charters that fly over Serengeti National Park, giving you a unique bird’s-eye view of the wildlife and landscapes. These flights range from short 30–60 minute scenic tours to longer private aerial safaris that can be combined with ground game drives.

Many of our flights depart from central Serengeti airstrips or luxury camps and offer unparalleled perspectives of the Great Migration, river crossings, and predator-prey interactions.

Prices for Serengeti helicopter flights typically range from $950 – $4,500 depending on flight duration, number of passengers, and whether it is a shared scenic flight or fully private charter.

Short scenic flights (45–60 min) start from around $950–$1,800 per person, while longer private aerial safaris and transfers are priced individually.

The best time is during the dry season (June–October) when visibility is excellent and the Great Migration is at its peak. January–February is also excellent for calving season in the southern Serengeti. Clear skies provide the best photographic opportunities and smoother flights.

All flights use modern Airbus helicopters with experienced pilots. You will receive a full safety briefing, and flights are only operated when weather conditions are safe. Soft luggage (15 kg per person) is required.
