You’ll see a commitment to service and customer satisfaction with Safari
Helicopters that only comes from a family-run business. And a commitment to the
art and craft of aviation that you’d expect from Preston Myers, Safari’s
founder, with over 30 years of U.S. military and civilian experience.
Safari's ASTAR helicopters seat everyone facing forward, with no physical
obstructions blocking the passenger's 180 degree panoramic view. Safari's newest
"super" ASTAR 350 B2-7 features a left side pilot seat, more passenger leg room,
higher visibility with large side "picture windows," and the exclusive "Safari
Skylight" window, an innovation providing front and back-seat passengers a
tremendous vertical overhead view for gawking at those amazing waterfalls.
In the future, you’ll be able to buy a luxury car that can fly smooth and
level in comfort and safety — it’ll be a lot like one of Safari's multi-million
dollar ASTARs with spacious leather interior, air-conditioning, 732
shafthorsepower jet turbine engine. It’s got all the extras.
The owner requires that all his Safari pilots adhere to the same high
standards of professionalism that he personally has carried out over the years.
Safari Helicopters is a Certified Part 135 Air Carrier. Its helicopters are FAA
certified, as are all of its highly qualified pilots.
From the first e-mail or phone call to Safari Helicopters, it’s clear that
Preston’s passion for top-notch service is more than just an advertising slogan.
The Safari staff take great pride in helping our passengers get the most from
their flight, AND from their vacation.

In 1990, Safari led the industry when they designed and gained FAA approval
for the first on-board multiple-camera video system to record passenger’s actual
flights. Always focused on innovation, Safari’s newly upgraded DVD recording
system is already producing archival quality recordings on select aircraft.
Safari’s company policy: there are old pilots, and there are bold pilots, but
there are no old, bold pilots. We always put our passengers comfort and safety
first. Smooth and level — now that’s a helicopter Safari.
While many passengers sit in rapt silence wearing a giddy smile during the
flight, you can grab the intercom and talk to your pilot or fellow passengers
when the urge strikes you while wearing Bose¨ noise canceling stereo headphones.
Safari flew their $3 million, 9 passenger Bell 412SP twin engine helicopter
in support assignments for the Department of Defense’s AEGIS ship-based
anti-ballistic missile system. No, it didn’t have banana leaves painted on the
side, but still a pretty cool helicopter.
…unless you’re a U.S. Forest Service firefighter in southern Oregon being
flown on an “initial attack” mission… in which case you’ll need to be ready to
“climb out on the strut.” Safari also flies fire control missions in Hawaii
protecting stands of native plants from the encroachment of new lava flows.
