Victoria Falls : Scenic Day Tour, Lunch & Helicopter Flight

I didn’t see much value add from this tour operator. Two of the activities were awesome: walk the falls and fly over the falls. The restaurant looks great in photos, and the food was good, but they set us outside the restaurant proper (off the end) in the sun on a hot day. We could not see the “Lookout” at all from our table. The tour guide didn’t get us a decent table at all. Earlier, the same guide escorted us on the walk, but didn’t provide much if any information after we entered. It was nice to have an escort, but that’s expensive! Then they switched us to another driver to go to the helicopter. And back again later. So, falls=beautiful, but guide weak; helicopter=fun, but driver swap, and dinner was pretty miserably hot without a view. So…what value did the tour operator add?? Transportation and safety and I did like that. I suggest you shop around for better value.

This is an amazing day out to get to know Victoria Falls. Our guide and driver, Jacob, couldn't do enough to make sure everything went well, and made sure that the transfer to the helicopter company was professionally done, and if course, he was there on our return. The helicopter flight was fantastic, with views of the Falls that are unforgettable. When that was all done, we went to the Lookout Cafe for a delicious lunch, then taken back to our hotel by Jacob.

Great tour and helicopter ride. Lunch was fantastic. Extra charges for excursion top up was unexpected.

I had a great experience with Dream Africa vacations, they organized all my tours the angels pool, Victoria Dallas with the helicopter ride, Chobe safari and they also arranged my bungee jump. Portia was very helpful and answers questions very quick. I could by download the pictures from my bungee jump and she contacted the staff and they sent me another link to download all my media. Totally recommended.

Bring plenty of USD as there are lots of additional costs. Park entrances, government top ups, rain coat hire, tipping, etc. Firstly, it’s not a private tour. We did our transfer and Vic Falls walk with another (lovely) family. Our helicopter ride was also not private, you can pay an extra $200 USD once you’re there if you’d like it to be. You are then encouraged to watch and buy the helicopter video. The absolute best part of the day, which was private, was the delicious lunch and the spectacular views from the Lookout Cafe. Honestly, the views from the cafe are better than what you see in the park. There is a great professional art gallery/shop (with no pressure at all to buy) at the restaurant as well. The trip is worth doing, but it just takes the fun out of it when everyone is trying to upsell or take their pound of flesh. It’s exhausting. We declined the market shopping trip based on a previous review. Glad we did as it would have ruined the day. To be fair, all activities that we have done in Zimbabwe have felt like we have to constantly be on our toes and handing out tips in USD. This tour was no different.

Nice guided tour of the falls. Nice scenic view from helicopter ( short ride is sufficient). Nice lunch at Lookout café

Our guide tony was fantastic, giving an amazing guide of Victoria falls with lots of interesting facts and great pictures. We werent able to get our flight on the first day due to clouds but the company were great in rearranging our flight for the next day and communication was superb in organising this. Helicopter tour itself was an amazing experience

Amazing experience overall. The extra costs, albeit we knew about, got quite overwhelming and were needed in cash. We had 3 drivers throughout the day, yes they were lovely but all expected a tip which was another $20 per person. Lunch and the walk were amazing! Helicopter trip was good but yet again they tried to charge you more for a longer flight and a video. After getting picked up you are dropped off in a market with your guide but everyone tries to sell you something which can be quite intimidating, they got funny when we didn’t buy anything.

The tour is highly recommended. From picking up and guiding you to Victoria Falls with the very knowledgeable guide Moby, to helicopter rides and lunch at the Baines restaurant, everything was perfectly organised. We enjoyed everything very much and are still thrilled. Spectacular views of the waterfalls from the ground and from the air and finally an excellent meal in the restaurant, what more could you want—we would do it again immediately.

Was great tour I would have preferred to have done the helicopter ride first and then the tour. It was my first time in a helicopter so was nervous and it was my first time but overall it’s a great tour and the lunch location was stunning and the food was delicious
