1 Day Diani Helicopter Scenic Flight Safari begins from Nairobi Wilson Airport to Diani Beach, Mombasa, South Coast. Diani Beach is a major beach resort (an intimate little paradise) on the quiet shores of the Indian Ocean, just 30 km (19 miles) south of Mombasa in Kenya.

Diani Beach includes vibrant beaches like Tiwi Beach, Galu Beach, Chale Island, Funzi Island, Msambweni, and Kinondo. Diani Beach is known for its coral reefs, black-and-white colobus monkeys, and the nearby Shimba Hills National Reserve, a wildlife reserve that overlooks the Indian Ocean.

Diani Beach has high-class restaurants, hotels, supermarkets, and several shopping centres. Diani Beach is also a popular kite surfing location.

Our Diani Helicopter Scenic Flight Safari departs from Wilson Airport and heads to the Kenyan Coast at Diani, flying west towards the Chyulu Hills (which consists of several hundred small lava flows and cones).

These hills do not have permanent rivers, but their rainfall feeds the Tsavo and Galana Rivers and the Mzima Springs on the surrounding plains.

The abundance of game is nothing short of spectacular. Sights also include Kilimanjaro and the Taita Hills – both famed for their moist forests and unique flora and fauna. Fly over the Shimba Hills and spot a herd of elephants before you fly across towards the Indian Ocean and Diani.

Our Diani Helicopter Scenic Flight Safari includes a picnic stop en route. You can choose to end your journey at your beach hotel/ accommodation in Diani, Mombasa, or return to Wilson Airport, Nairobi.
