Your question really isn't very clear. Do you want to fly from Mombasa to Amboseli in a helicopter?
Why? Is there something specific that you need from a helicopter that a regular fixed wing aircraft will not offer?
Your budget of less than $100 is a little unrealistic for a helicopter flight of almost any length.
I'm really having trouble understanding what you're trying to say here: "I know you can only hot air balloon safari from Amboseli."

Sorry to disappoint you, but US $100 is unrealistic for the service you require. Kindly re-think and let me know what it is exactly that you want and I will be happy to see what I can do for you. To give you an indication: hot air balloon (which can be done in several game reserves, not only Amboseli) is US $ 450 per person for a one hour flight.

thanks for your question. thats a long helicopter ride to even consider anything below $100!. there was a time a certain celeb was flown across a fence to attend a music awards event and he paid about 1000$ so you need to re-think your budget.

Yes game drive with an aircraft can be done from Mombasa to Amboseli however advise if it has to be an helicopter. I have done several aircraft game for an hour for many client. The price range from USD 2900 per hour. Normally we pick either from Nairobi or mombasa fly to Amboseli park. Have an hour game fly and fly back. If you have already booked your accommodation we can arrange to bring in the Aircraft at Amboseli. Have the game fly at Amboseli and drop off depending on the hours that you require. The best timing are in the morning and afternoon from 1400 Hrs.
