About the Safari Helicopter Company Safari

The Safari is a British single-seat ultralight helicopter designed and built by the Safari Helicopter Company in the 1990s. Developed as an affordable kit-built rotorcraft for the private owner-pilot market, it features a simple tubular steel frame, a two-blade main rotor system, and a small piston engine driving both main and tail rotors. With a maximum takeoff weight of just 800 kilograms (1,764 pounds), the Safari sits at the lighter end of the helicopter spectrum, offering basic point-to-point capability for recreational flying and pilot training in the UK experimental category.

Its VNE of 87 knots reflects its ultralight construction and modest performance envelope, typical of single-seat kit helicopters from this era. The type never achieved widespread commercial production or certification under full EASA standards, remaining largely a niche aircraft flown under permit-to-fly regulations by enthusiast builders. SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes, operators, and routes.
