David Livingstone wrote of the Victoria Falls that ‘scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by angels in flight’… so perhaps it’s no surprise that flying over the falls is one of the best way to appreciate the great spectacle.
Short flips have you over the Falls and back in under 15 minutes, while longer chopper excursions drop into the gorge to skim above the rapids. Choose between helicopters, or, for the truly daring, microlights.
All flights are bookable through local tour companies, which provide return hotel transfers to the helipad or runways situated on either side of the Zambezi.
Short flips last under 15 minutes, while longer 30-minute excursions take in more of the Batoka Gorge and the national parks situated alongside the Zambezi.
Flights run all year-round, seven days a week. Start time by arrangement. Microlight flights only take place in the early morning and late afternoon.
The river and Falls are most impressive during the turbulent summer floods of April-May. Low water months of August to December are still worthwhile for the jaw-dropping views alone.
