First of all thank you to Jenny who was quite helpful during the booking and change pick up point. The experience of seeing Victoria Falls from the air is unique and highly recommended for everyone. Afterwards they were still very helpful in recovering photos. Great!
A big disappointment

As part of a tour group, about 20 of us booked the 22-minute flights. This was booked about 3/4 days prior to the flight. The groupings were submitted so that people could take the flight with people of their choice. In my case, my wife, her brother and her sister-in-law. Another single traveler was added to make up the 5 people required to fill the seats. The 20 people were divided into 2 groups: one scheduled for 3 p.m. and the other for 4 p.m. The Angel of Flight van was late picking up the first group. Once at the helicopter venue, they started weighing passengers and moving everyone around based on the weights and to balance the choppers. I understand this is for safety reasons and have absolutely no issue with that. But, with 3- or 4-days advance notice, we could have been asked to submit our weights in advance and all the logistics worked out. In the end, I didn't get to fly with my family. The 22-minute flight was 20 minutes (yes, I timed it. At US$12.00 per minute, I was interested). So, about $25US left out there somewhere. The biggest frustration was the lateness of the actual flight. We lifted off after 4 p.m. losing about an hour. That put the second group behind by an equal amount of time. After the flight we tried to make suggestions to the people who seemed to be in charge, but they just nodded. It was like this was their first day in business and it was chaos. All in all, it was the biggest waste of time and money in our 22 days on tour.
Serious but relaxed Mood, very reassuring.

We took an Angel helicopter flight this morning. The whole experience was seamless, very well organised. We loved the views over the landscape and Victoria Falls. It added a whole new dimension to what you cannot see when you walk the falls. I would definitely recommend if you have time.
Not the best view

Had an excellent (1st helicopter) experience over Victoria Falls! We did the land walk 1st to Victoria Falls but the mist was too extreme. Couldn't see much. Decided to experience Victoria Falls from above & it was quite an experience! Must do!!!
A definite highlight!

We were promptly picked up at our lodge. Everything went very smoothly. Our group consisted of 3 people and we went up in a 4 person helicopter by ourselves. We did the 25 minute ride and the pilot was fantastic, making sure both sides of the helicopter had a view of the falls, the gorges, and the animals in the park. It gave us a chance to see the falls from a different perspective and we signed up for the last flight of the day, which is the time the sun hits the droplets and produces rainbows. It was a very smooth ride and one of the highlights of our stay in Victoria Falls.
Great excursion!

Amazing views from uptop in the sky, I personally got to sit in the front with the pilot and saw everything from up above the falls, and all of us would recommend us doing it whenever you go to Zambia or Zimbabwe!
