SkySafari by Elewana
Company History and Description
SkySafari is the signature fly-in safari experience within Elewana Collection. Since 2010, it has focused on elevating the East African safari through seamless aviation, carefully designed circuits and stays at Elewana’s boutique properties. The result is a high-touch, time-efficient journey that combines luxury, strong destination knowledge, conservation and community connection.
Date of creation
SkySafari has been known since 2010 and was relaunched as a stand-alone brand for 2021 departures. Its development strategy combines time-efficient aviation logistics, highly curated circuits, personalised service and the depth of Elewana’s conservation-led portfolio across Kenya and Tanzania.
Company’s language and culture friendliness
English and Kiswahili are core working languages across the SkySafari journey, supported by reservation consultants, destination specialists, guides and property teams across Kenya and Tanzania. Because the experience is delivered through Elewana’s wider operating platform, guests benefit from deep local knowledge, culturally grounded hospitality and broad international guest experience. Exact multilingual team numbers should be added internally if required.
Positioning
SkySafari by Elewana is positioned as East Africa’s premium fly-in safari brand for travellers who want maximum wilderness time with minimal travel friction. It combines the exclusivity and efficiency of a private-aviation-style journey with the warmth, design standards and conservation ethos of Elewana’s award-winning camps, lodges and hotels.
Schedule/Season
SkySafari operates year-round through Kenya, Tanzania and East Africa itineraries, with published departure dates, seasonal pricing and bespoke travel options. Travel windows can be tailored around migration, dry-season wildlife viewing, family travel, honeymoons or milestone celebrations, while the Elewana footprint allows for flexible extensions and combinations.
