Helicopters in Kenya are the new status symbol for the rich and political. Its a burgeoning sector of aviation locally, but hard to break into. A lot of heli pilos are ex military and there are quite a few of these experienced aviators in the market. Most private helicopters are Eurocopters/Bells etc. There's a lot of kudos to being a heli pilot, but you need to be 'known' for anyone to let you loose on their prized possessions.
There is only one operator with R22/R44 which are used for training purposes and mini charters.
I believe there is one expat with no heli experience who has managed to get a two year (?) attachment to a heli operator with a view to a long distant future, but this is a freak rarity.
