OUR FLEET
A modern helicopter fleet built for Zanzibar
At Tropic Helicopters Zanzibar, our fleet has been chosen to meet the demands of island flying with precision, safety, and comfort at the centre of every journey. Operating across Zanzibar and Pemba, our Tanzania-registered helicopters bring together proven Airbus engineering, trusted performance, and the high standards that have shaped our operations across sub-Saharan Africa for decades.
Our fleet currently features two of the most respected single-engine helicopters in the world: the Airbus H130 T2 and the Airbus H125 B3e. Each aircraft is operated by a single pilot and selected for its capability, reliability, and suitability for the kind of flying we do every day, from luxury helicopter transfers in Zanzibar to scenic helicopter flights over the islands and tailored coastal connections.
Whether you are flying from Zanzibar Airport to a private resort, moving between islands, or booking a scenic experience along the coast, our helicopters are designed to get you there quickly, smoothly, and in style.
The Quietest Helicopter in the world
The Airbus H130 T2 is one of the finest helicopters available for premium passenger operations and scenic flying. Known for its quiet cabin, excellent visibility, and refined ride quality, it is exceptionally well suited to scenic helicopter flights in Zanzibar and private air transfers across the islands.
The most powerful single-engine helicopter in its class
The Airbus H125 B3e is one of the most capable and respected single-engine helicopters in the world. Built for demanding environments and known for its versatility, power, and reliability, it is a natural fit for a dynamic island operation like ours.
Our upcoming fleet
The Airbus H120 is a light single-engine helicopter known for its refined design, smooth handling, and quiet performance, making it an excellent addition to our upcoming fleet in Zanzibar.
