BREATHTAKING HELICOPTER EXPERIENCE.

Flight of the angels, the ultimate view of one of the seven wonders of the world 

It’s time to whip out your bucket list. There’s no better way to see the scale, magnificence and beauty of the Victoria Falls than from the air. But it’s not just the Falls that you’ll see from a different angle. Depending on the flight you choose, we also take a whirl around the Batoka Gorge, the Victoria Falls Bridge and the Zambezi River, before we fly over the Zambezi National Park where you’ll have the opportunity to spot game from up above.

Our helicopters have specially developed bubble windows for the best views possible, and we don’t sell middle seats, so guests are guaranteed uninterrupted views. Our helipad is five minutes from town, it’s the closest in Victoria Falls, so you’ll be over the Falls almost immediately after take-off.

We will also pick you up for free from any hotel or lodge within the Victoria Falls town area.

FLIGHT OF ANGELS

  • 13-15 minutes

  • US$150

Named after David Livingstone’s famous quote, “Scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by Angels in their flight.”. After take-off we head straight for the Falls. After doing a figure of eight over the Falls, which gives you the best views possible, we head upstream and fly over the Zambezi National Park where you get the opportunity to spot game from the air.

SCENIC GORGE FLIGHT

  • 22 minutes

  • US$235

Embark on a mesmerising journey that combines the awe-inspiring Flight of Angels with a breathtaking scenic flight over Batoka Gorge, extending up to Rapid #14 and back. On your return, enjoy another captivating view of the Falls. Our helicopter gracefully hovers just above the gorge, ensuring both safety and environmental mindfulness. This unique vantage point allows you to fully immerse yourself in the beauty and grandeur of this natural wonder, providing the perfect opportunity to capture stunning photographs.

ZAMBEZI SPECTACULAR

  • 25 minutes

  • US$284

Combine the beauty and thrills of the Flight of the Angels with a flight downstream over the Batoka gorge and additional time over the Zambezi National Park, where you have another opportunity to spot wildlife. This flight gives you the opportunity to view the magnificent Zambezi in its three states: the meandering peaceful river above the Falls, the Falls themselves and the rapids and white water of the Zambezi below the Falls. This flight should not be missed.
