Victoria Falls Helicopter Tour
Description
Start your adventure with a pickup from your hotel in Victoria Falls. As you take off, experience a magical moment as you start to exit the helipad. Feel a sense of awe as you start to see the waterfalls inching closer. Soar over the upper Zambezi River, enjoying views of the falls from your window, and capture the falls from the left and right side as the helicopter completes its flips over the falls. Soak in the natural beauty of the Batoka Gorge on the Zambezi River as you fly downriver through steep cliffs. Fly over a long island on the Zambezi upstream from the falls, towards the Zambezi National Park, home to a wide variety of wildlife. Keep an eye out for elephants, hippos, crocodiles, buffaloes, giraffes, kudus, and many other animals as you head back to the helipad. After the flight, enjoy a convenient drop-off at your lodge.

Itinerary
The outstanding beauty of the Victoria falls can be captured from all angles during the 15 minutes scenic flight or the 25 minutes game flight. Our helicopter ride begins with a gentle take-off from our helipad at Kazangula airstrip along the Victoria Falls to Kazangula highway and provides the most incredible views and photographs of Victoria Falls. We offer 2 options of helicopter scenic flights over the Victoria Falls – the 15 Minutes Scenic Flight and the 25 Minutes Game Flight. You’ll witness the natural beauty of the Batoka Gorge on the Zambezi River as you fly downriver following this world heritage site’s mighty Zambezi as it carves a path through steep cliffs. We’ll be flying over long island on the upper Zambezi upstream from the falls, towards the Zambezi National Park, home to a wide variety of wildlife. This is a wonderful opportunity to see wildlife such as elephants, hippos, crocodiles from the air, as well as up and down the river.

I had an amazing time, this was the top experience of my whole trip . Very well organised and just brilliant
I paid online but when I arrived the site a black guy singled me out and asked for US$25 extra. He said it is for helicopter parking fees. I asked why I was the only person here to be asked to pay more, he then waived the charge. I was alone to join this flight. All the fees should be made transparent.
View from the top can never be compared to viewing on the ground. The splendor and spectacular waterfall curtain can be seen in its entirety. Watch the mighty Zambezi and its islands as the ravaging flow approaches the waterfall and turn into the meandering gorge. Far down below emerges water from the power generating tunnel producing electricity for Livingstone hydro power station. The helicopter route is well planned for an efficient view from above. Definitely a “flight of the angels”!!
Great organized unique experience to fly over the falls and see the indescribable natural event from above.
We felt this company was very customer focussed. The flight height above the falls.was ideal and at the right pace. The pilot also found some animals on the way back, when we expressed an interest. The video was also well put together (the guy should get a bonus on each sale).
A must do…fabulous views of the Falls….better than from on the ground. Put on bug spray though as the terminal has quite a few
A great experience, we travelled as a group of 4 and flew 2x2 (2 in each of 2 short trips). Very friendly, professional team. Awesome photos, videos and memories to keep.
2 rounds about the Victoria Falls with experienced pilot and animals from above in the longer flight or just the falls, depending on your interest, both cool.
Flight was great but furious to discover that everything booked and paid for online as a present for my husband and 2 children, only for them to arrive and be charged an extra 75USD on top of the cost originally paid as a "park fee" . No warning just refused to fly unless we coughed up the extra. Very unimpressed. Be upfront about ALL the charges.
Absolutely spectacular. We were only on the sightseeing flight and then knew exactly where we were during the walk through the park. Team absolutely professional and courteous. As one reviewer noted earlier, don't be irritated: there were only 25USD fees per person for the shorter flight. Euro go too, rate 1:1 of course:-) The video is highly recommended, but is shown before purchase.
