Kilimanjaro Helicopter Tour
An hour in the air along the slopes of Kilimanjaro, over the climbing routes and Lake Chala.
Kilimanjaro Helicopter Tour · 1 hour
Package Overview
See Kilimanjaro the way few people do. The helicopter lifts off from Moshi Airport, flies east over town and along the mountain's flanks above the forest and the climbing routes, then loops over the Lake Chala crater before heading back. Park rules don't allow flights over the summit crater, but the views of the glaciers and the ice fields from the side are spectacular on a clear morning.
Highlights
- Kilimanjaro's glaciers and climbing routes from the air
- Low pass over Lake Chala
- Window seat for every passenger
