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.

Helicopter tours in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
Victoria Falls is one of the largest waterfalls in the world, and a helicopter flight, locally often called the "Flight of Angels," is the only way to see its full width and the gorge below in a single view.
When's the best time to fly?
February to May sees the falls at their fullest and most dramatic, though heavy spray can occasionally reduce visibility. June to January brings lower water levels but clearer photos of the falls and gorge.
What should I bring?
A light rain jacket for the spray, and a waterproof bag or cover for your camera.
What if the weather doesn't cooperate?
Like most operators, tours in Victoria Falls have standard weight and balance limits (you may be asked your weight when booking or checking in), and pilots will delay or reschedule rather than fly in unsafe wind, low visibility, or storms. Booking a tour with free cancellation means a weather delay won't cost you anything.
