Meet Betty Jerono, a true pioneer and trailblazer! Betty is the first woman in Kenya to hold a Gyrocopter pilot’s license.
In June 2020, Rubani Jerono embarked on an incredible journey with the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) as a trainee pilot, carrying her dreams high above the clouds. Her vision? To safeguard our breathtaking wildlife and protected areas from a unique vantage point.
Betty’s pursuit of excellence took her all the way to the picturesque landscapes of Scotland, where she underwent an intensive 3-month training program at Highland Aviation.
Now, as a licensed Gyrocopter pilot, Betty is the first lady pilot in KWS! She is a vital part of the KWS team, using this remarkable aircraft to assist in routine monitoring, surveillance, and the management of Kenya’s precious wildlife. Gyrocopters are low-flying aircrafts that assist in wildlife surveillance in protected areas.
Betty Jerono’s journey is a testament to the power of determination, passion, and breaking barriers.
Join us in celebrating her as she soars to new heights, protecting Kenya’s natural treasures with grace and skill.
