Jamie Roberts owns Tropic Air, which he established in the mid 1990s. This private air charter company offers stylish, quick and private transportation around East Africa in its state of the art fixed wing aircraft as well as three Eurocopters. For many guests, flying low across this physically diverse wilderness is the best way to truly appreciate the scale of Kenya's beauty and solitude, as well as private air being the most simple and unforgettable way to travel between safari lodges in Kenya. Tropic Air stands apart from other private air charter companies in Kenya through its incredibly skilled and experienced pilots, well-maintained aircraft and a reputation for delivering fun and unique flights.

Tropic Air operates 6 aircraft ranging from a two passenger Cessna 182 to a twelve passenger Cessna Caravan. The 5 pilots have a combined 30,000 flying hours to their credit, and are keen to share their extensive knowledge on the country's history, landscape and wildlife. Tropic Air operates between lodges and camps located in Kenya's renowned national parks and reserves (...and more secret destinations, too) enabling visitors to optimize their time in Kenya by avoiding the hazardous roads and vast distances, whist gaining an incredible birds-eye view of this scenically spectacular country. More recently, chopper expeditions have become a major part of Tropic Air's operations, and these take place all over East Africa including Ethiopia, Uganda and as far south as Namibia and Botswana. A particularly memorable expedition takes guests from the highest point in Africa (Mt Kilimanjaro) to the lowest (the Danakil Depression in Ethiopia). This is the most exclusive way to safari through Africa.
