Often called the “Flight of Angels”, this 13-minute helicopter ride offers a spectacular introduction to Victoria Falls. From the moment you lift off, the helicopter sweeps across the Zambezi River and into the spray of the Falls. You’ll see the main cataracts, the Batoka Gorge, and the ever-shifting curtain of mist that rises high above the cliffs.
Though brief, this flight delivers unforgettable views — the perfect choice for travelers who want to witness the grandeur of the Falls from the air in a short but powerful experience.
For those wanting more, the 25-minute flight extends the adventure. After circling Victoria Falls from multiple angles, the flight path follows the Zambezi River upstream, offering sweeping views of its islands and channels. The helicopter then continues into Zambezi National Park, where there’s a chance to spot elephants, hippos, and other wildlife from above.
This longer flight combines the breathtaking spectacle of the Falls with a unique aerial safari, giving you both the drama of the gorge and the vast beauty of the surrounding landscapes. It’s the most complete way to appreciate why Victoria Falls is known as the adventure capital of Southern Africa.
