How our pricing works
Single seats are sold on the Nairobi ↔ Nakuru run at KSh 8,000 per person, one way — a 30-minute flight that lands at Mbweha Camp Airstrip just outside Nakuru town. Every other flight is priced per aircraft or per package rather than per seat: Caravan charters average around USD 1,400 per hour on the Kenyan market, so the 30-minute Nairobi ↔ Nakuru one-way comes in near USD 700–800 before repositioning fees, and shared among a full group of 12 that is roughly KSh 8,000–9,500 each. Curated scenic packages — the Rift Valley aerial tour plus brunch or bush breakfast at Mbweha Camp — run about KSh 208,000 per package experience. Helicopter hire typically runs KSh 150,000 to 250,000 per hour depending on the model and landing permissions. Every request receives a tailored quote for your exact route and date.
