Air Lamu fly private charters along Kenya's coast, operating out of Manda Bay in the Lamu archipelago. The fleet is small and exclusive, and your pilot Roland Purcell has thousands of hours flying experience in East Africa. Air Lamu is the perfect solution for those wanting to combine different coastal destinations, or get from their last safari camp down to the coast with speed and style.

Short Scenic Flights from all of our camps are available. At Richard's Camp, Richard Roberts keeps his small plane, a C182, at the main camp and it is a perfect way to explore the Mara from the air whislt being guided by Richard himself. In northern Kenya, Tropic Air is on standby to whisk you around the magnificent tribal lands of the north.

Tropic Air operates private air charters (by fixed wing or chopper) between lodges and camps, as well as airborne expeditions by chopper around Africa. These adventures give a bird's eye view of our scenically spectacular continent. Tropic Air offers early morning flights into the northern deserts and to Lake Turkana, or to the seldom visited forests of the Matthews Range, or breath-taking flights around the 17,000ft peaks of Mt. Kenya.
Air Lamu offers both private charter flights along the Kenyan coast, as well as scenic flights in the area. Private charter flights allow you the flexibility of flying when you want to, and where you want to, and maximise your time on safari. Our scenic flights will leave you inspired and in awe of the incredible Kenyan coastline, its inland wildlife areas and the beautiful coral reefs that line our beaches.
