Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, is a breathtaking sight from any angle. But to truly appreciate its grandeur, there’s no better way than from above. The ‘Flight of the Angels’ helicopter ride offers an unrivaled perspective of the falls and the surrounding landscapes, making it a must-do experience for every visitor.
What is the ‘Flight of the Angels’?
The phrase ‘Flight of the Angels’ was inspired by explorer David Livingstone, who, upon seeing Victoria Falls for the first time, described it as “a sight so lovely it must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight.” This name has since been given to the spectacular Victoria Falls helicopter rides, which allow passengers to soar above the mighty Zambezi River and the world-famous falls
