Helicopter Flight over the Victoria Falls
About this tour
Are you looking to embark on an unforgettable journey where adventure meets the soul? Join us on this helicopter tour and witness not only the Victoria falls but, wildlife in the Zambezi national park, the full of life Livingstone Island, and the series of 7 gorges created by the Zambezi River over millions of years. The Victoria falls are the world's largest waterfall and as such, mist bellows upwards like smoke as the water hits the ground, creating temporary rain and a beautiful rainbow that catches the eye. Your flight will take off from 10 minutes just outside the town and hover over the majestic Victoria falls before heading for the Zambezi national park where wildlife can be seen. The flight will end again at the starting point where optional videos may be purchased.

Itinerary
Stop 1
You will be picked up from your accommodation in Victoria falls and transported to just 10 to 15 minutes outside the humble town of Victoria falls. Upon arrival at the Helicopter company, you will be briefed of all safety precautions and also how to use equipment provided on the helicopter. The helicopter staff will also explain to you the route that your flight will take before you are escorted on to the helipad to meet with your pilot. Your flight will immediately fly over the Chinotimba settlement and head straight for the majestic Victoria falls where you will enjoy the best views of the entire Victoria falls precinct. Your flight will circle the falls twice in a zigzag formation offering you the best views of the falls from both sides of the aircraft. Our pilots are well spoken in English, and they will be giving you information about the Victoria falls through the aircraft radio system and they will also be happy to take any questions from you.
Stop 2
Livingstone Island is situated right before the Zambezi River crumbles down the Victoria falls gorge to form the largest waterfall in the world. The Island is known to be home to the famous Devil's pool, where many courageous visitors swim centimeters right next to the 1km steep gorge. If you are lucky, you might be able to spot Hippos, Buffalos and Elephants while you hover over in your aircraft enjoying the world's best craft of nature.
Stop 3
The Zambezi national park is home to some of Africa's largest mammals including lion, elephants, Cape Buffalo and leopard. The park is split into two sides namely the Chamabonda vlei and the riverine side where Hippos, Crocodiles and birdlife can be seen. The Chomabonda side boast of Giraffes antelopes and many other small mammals. Your pilot will point out all these animals to you should you have any luck on the day.
Stop 4
The Devil's pool is situated just above the main falls of Victoria falls and offers you the world's most daring swimming experience. Although you will not have a chance to swim in the devil's pool during your flight, you will have an opportunity to stare at this daring pool from a bird's eye point of view.

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.
