The
Concept
Exhilaration, luxurious, excitement, opulence, awe-inspiring,
magnificent, adventurous, fantastic…!
These are some of the words that best describe Distinctive Africa’s
Luxury Helicopter Safaris. We present to you
the ultimate safari experience in luxurious style
and comfort with a flare of uniqueness that is a cut above the
rest…
We operate helicopter safaris in South
Africa, Botswana,
Namibia
and Moçambique.
The main feature of these helicopter safaris is the incredibly,
exhilarating way of experiencing Africa. Sightseeing
by air is the best way to discover Africa’s
diverse sights and sounds. This is truly the most amazing way
to see, feel and visit Africa.
From the moment you arrive in Africa, you will be swept off your
feet by the high level of service and exceptional
standard of accommodation as well as the incredible
beauty of this exotic continent. Every day is filled
with discovery and wonder as you glide across
the magnificent scenery, meeting different cultures and visiting
the spectacular attractions. Spend your evenings in luxury
and style at carefully chosen lodges and boutique hotels
situated in pristine areas of this beautiful continent. Enjoy
the culinary feasts produced by world-class chefs and the unique
activities on offer throughout the region.
It is an exhilarating experience not to be missed.
This is the best of the best!
Our pilots are
the best in the industry with years of experience and a keen interest
in Africa.
Our helicopter of choice is the EC 120. Click

We also use the Bell 407 and Bell Longranger.
Please note:
Distinctive Africa plans luxury safaris for our
guests from start to finish. This is NOT a transfer
by helicopter from one place to the next, but a complete
luxury safari experience like no other! A non-stop visual
feast awaits you every minute of your journey. Travelling by helicopter
is a unique, exhilarating and awe-inspiring experience. You will
see Africa in a unique way, possible only by helicopter.
The experience of a lifetime
Imagine flying 10 feet above the crystal clear waters of the Indian
Ocean, spotting dolphins as they ride the waves, then gently landing
on a secluded beach, where you enjoy a sumptuous breakfast laid
out especially for you. Indulge in a swim or snorkel before setting
off to explore the scenic beauty of nature from a bird’s
eye perspective.
After enjoying a delicious lunch at a secret spot, a short walk
brings you closer to the natural wonders of Africa. From here
you fly over the grassy plains of Africa to a private game reserve
where your private game drive vehicle and ranger awaits, ready
to explore the African bush in search of the abundant wildlife
including the Big Five.
Enjoy sundowners at an idyllic spot in the bush as the African
sun turns the sky into a fiery display of colour while sipping
away at your favourite drink. On the way back to your luxury lodge
where an extravagant bush dinner awaits you, the ranger points
out the unique nocturnal animals and birds.
Around the campfire you reflect on the days’ incredible
experiences, with Africa’s ever-changing landscapes playing
back in your minds’ eye as you linger on the memories of
your African safari. Luckily tomorrow is another day with its’
own unique adventures, experiences and excitement!
You fall asleep with the sounds of the African bush, content with
life, looking forward to the next part of your journey with Distinctive
Africa…
Combinations
Combine your helicopter safari with a classic
mobile safari and luxury
lodge safari to Botswana’s famous wildlife
reserves or spend a week on a private yacht, exploring the tropical
islands of the Bazaruto Archipelago. A luxury
rail safari and a visit to a private
game reserve before or after your helicopter safari
compliments the experience.
