A new era of luxury tourism has dawned in Uganda with the unveiling of ELEVATE, the nation’s first helicopter safari adventure offering unparalleled aerial tours of its most iconic natural wonders.
The high-end experience—launched through a strategic partnership between Nile Safari Lodge, Kampala Executive Aviation (KEA), and NOVAM Ltd.—aims to transform the way tourists explore Uganda’s stunning landscapes, positioning the East African country as a premier destination for upscale adventure seekers.
Designed for discerning travellers seeking a more exclusive view of the Pearl of Africa, ELEVATE allows guests to soar over Uganda’s majestic wilderness, including Murchison Falls National Park, Lake Victoria, the Nile River, and the mist-veiled Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, home to endangered mountain gorillas.
“For over 25 years, our family has been dedicated to showcasing the beauty of Uganda through extraordinary travel experiences,” said Nathalie Van Pée, Director of Nile Safari Lodge. “With ELEVATE, we’re redefining the safari—inviting guests to explore Uganda’s raw, untouched landscapes from a breathtaking new perspective.”
While traditional safaris in Uganda are conducted via road or water, ELEVATE breaks new ground by offering a sky-high adventure that combines luxury, safety, and bespoke service. Flights are operated by Kampala Executive Aviation, one of the country’s leading providers of specialised aviation services.
“This is not just about flying; it’s a curated journey of discovery,” noted Philip Gill, Director at KEA. “Our team is committed to ensuring guests enjoy the very highest standards of safety and comfort while uncovering the unique beauty of Uganda from above.“
Flexible packages are now available, allowing guests to tailor their itinerary based on personal preferences. The experience can be booked directly through Nile Safari Lodge, with dedicated staff available to assist in crafting personalised excursions.
