We are pleased to announce the recent arrival of our second helicopter 5H-ERO, a brand new Airbus H125.

The H125 is the best in its field, designed to provide flexibility to operators whilst delivering superior performance at extreme altitudes and temperatures. The adaptability in its configuration between passenger transport and CASEVAC make it the ideal platform for operations on Mt Kilimanjaro and Mt Meru.

Tropic Helicopters is working closely with TANAPA to provide a world class casualty evacuation service from the mountains of Tanzania. The expansion of our Tropic Helicopters fleet enhances our capacity to conduct mountain flights, supporting the growing number of Tanzania’s climbing visitors.

A Dream Realized

Tropic Helicopters is proud to announce the launch of helicopter operations in Tanzania, a long-held ambition finally taking flight. Tanzania, with its breathtaking diversity and vibrant ecosystems, offers boundless opportunities for exploration. From the sprawling Serengeti, the epitome of the African safari, to the majestic Ngorongoro Crater, the country’s landscapes inspire awe. Towering peaks like Mount Ol Doinyo Lengai and Kilimanjaro, alongside the soda lakes of Manyara, Eyasi, and Natron, further paint a picture of adventure waiting to be discovered.

Strategic Location, Exceptional Service

Our base in Usa River, conveniently located near Arusha, allows us to efficiently serve all corners of Tanzania. We operate a state-of-the-art Airbus H130 helicopter, ensuring your comfort and safety on all your aerial journeys.

Partnership for Adventure and Safety

Tropic Helicopters is grateful for the trust placed in us by the Tanzanian National Parks Authority (TANAPA). This collaboration provides us with a provisional permit for helicopter operations within TANAPA Aerodromes. Additionally, we have partnered with the Mount Kilimanjaro Rescue Team to offer critical evacuation services on Mount Kilimanjaro. We are honored to be the first Tanzanian Air Operator Certificate (AOC) holder selected for these vital services.
