Sky High: Experience the world from above

Travel brings us new perspectives, but all the more so when we can discover its beauty from the sky. There is nothing quite as awe-inspiring as seeing a destination from such great heights - peaks become intricate patterns, rivers wind through valleys like ribbons, and migrating wildebeest appear as speckled paint across the Masai Mara. We’ve selected a few ways to experience a bird’s eye view, from private jet itineraries to a few hours in a helicopter. If these glimpses into travel inspire you to arrange your next vacation, we’d be delighted to assist you with as many details as you'd like.

A HOT AIR BALLOON RIDE OVER EAST AFRICA

LUXURY EAST AFRICA SAFARI

With several flights prepared to conveniently take you to the most desired destinations in East Africa, you won’t miss a single exquisite detail on a 15-day luxury safari itinerary. As you wing your way from one luxurious tented camp or lodge to another, the scenic beauty and abundant wildlife of iconic game preserves await. You will discover Africa intimately through forest canopy walks, rhino-tracking treks, and Samburu-led camel rides, but your favorite experience will likely be in the air.

A HELI-EXPLORATION TOUR OVER A MOUNTAIN RANGE

LUXURY HELICOPTER TOUR

It’s one thing to stand in awe of the Bugaboos Range of the Purcell Mountains from the ground, but to take flight over the granite spires and see the alpine settings as the eagles do will take your breath away. As your helicopter soars over the sweeping views of rocky ridges, turquoise lakes, and emerald forests, it will be hard to describe the head-turning sights with words alone. Once back on land, how you continue to discover British Columbia’s natural paradise is up to you. Your personal comfort levels and interests are accommodated by expert mountain guides who will outfit you with just the right gear. As the day ends, take a relaxing dip in a steamy outdoor hot tub to watch the sky you once journeyed through fill with an impossible amount of stars.
