Description
After a gentle take off from the helipad, you will fly out over The Falls where we will provide you with the most incredible viewing and photographic opportunity of this World Heritage Site. Continuing your flight downstream over the Batoka Gorge, experience the natural beauty of this aweinspiring dramatic feature following the mighty Zambezi as it carves its way between steep cliffs. As we head back from the Batoka Gorges, taking a last glimpse at The Falls, we fly over the long island on the upper Zambezi towards the National Park, home to a wide variety of wildlife species. This is an amazing opportunity to view game from the air in this beautiful National Park as well as along the banks of the Upper Zambezi River. There is an opportunity of spotting Elephants, Hippo , Crocodiles , Buffalo , Giraffes , Kudu and many more as we head back to the helipad. This is an amazing 3-in-1 flight, an experience of a lifetime.

Great way to see the falls and the park
Such an amazing way to really get a sense of the scale of the falls. Everything was wonderfully organized and reassuringly safe. Helicopters well set up to allow for photos for everyone. With the longer trip you get to see more of the park and we saw the sheer scale of the place as well as spot some giraffes and elephants

A flight over Vic Falls
Negative had booked on Sunday for next Monday Flight 1200 o'clock at noon . no confirmation from the organizer, 2 hours mails written and phoned agents who did not find the booking. then shortly before 11 o'clock finally got confirmation for pickup from the hotel and flight via mail. annoying! Flight had flown fantastically alone for two 25 minutes, whether you have to fly over the nature park to see animals that are barely visible if they have not fled under the trees, I think for taste? There were 2 elephants on the Zambezi barely visible due to the altitude. view over the falls gigantic. highly recommended!

Noise pollution
There is no peace and quiet at Victoria Falls anymore. No chance to enjoy the sounds of the bush and the waterfall. The natural experience people come for is not here anymore. It is destroyed by the constant engine noise of helicopters.
