East Africa's diverse landscapes and iconic wildlife demand a unique filming approach. Enter Tropic Helicopters, your trusted partner for aerial filming excellence. We offer an unparalleled platform to capture breathtaking footage for wildlife documentaries and feature films.
We have been fortunate to work closely with award winning aerial camera specialist Simon Werry, and produced many BBC series together including the ‘Africa’ and ‘Life’ series’, and most recently ‘Elephant Family and Me’ with Gordon Buchanan presenting. We have also worked closely, and continue to do so, with Disney, NatGeo and TerraMatte.
For the last 12 years Tropic Helicopters has flown Michael Poliza - a world acclaimed professional photographer, with an eye for aerial shots. Many of his spectacular photos of dramatic landscapes that appear in his 'Kenya' book were taken out of the open doors of our helicopter, and several also feature in this website.
