What To Expect
Victoria Falls
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.

US$25 additional helicopter parking fees asked

1.00I 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.
Air view way better than ground view

5.00View 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 personalised experience

5.00We 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...

5.00A 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.

5.002 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 spoilt by the extra unforseen and unmentioned additional costs.

3.00Flight 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! Recommendation!

5.00Absolutely 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.
Wonderful experience that musn't be missed.
