UberCHOPPER_Kenya-Lime_Email_700x350In a huge social media push for both companies, Uber Kenya has partnered with Corporate Helicopters to give lucky riders and their friends an opportunity to win one of six breathtaking rides with #UberChopper.

According to the firm, on the 4th of September 2016, riders in Nairobi will go on a tour between Nairobi and the Rift Valley with Eric Omondi, Huddah Monroe or Larry Madowo on board while riders in Mombasa will get to share the beauty of the Mombasa coastline with Chef Ali, DJ Lenium or Miss Global Kenya, Tima Keilah.

But you must enter the competition first by heading to http://t.uber.com/chopperke – watch the GIF and post a screenshot of the chopper centred over a giraffe using #UberCHOPPER. Follow or like both Uber Kenya (Twitter, Instagram or Facebook) and Corporate Helicopters (Twitter,Instagram or Facebook) social media pages.

Remember to include your city (#Nairobi or #Mombasa) and then wait for Uber to decide if you stand a chance to win the trip. Tag the person you’d like to share the chopper with and explain why you want that person.

If the first option looks hard, just be the first person to request UberCHOPPER in Nairobi or Mombasa through the app, at 10:00 am on Sunday, September 4, 2016. This will be the final pair of seats available.
