Flying Over Victoria Falls: The 15 Best Flights

15 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.5 average  ·  from $135

From the air the gorge reads as one long zigzag crack and the falls finally make sense. The 15 flights below split into the 12–13 minute Flight of Angels and the 25-minute loop that adds the Zambezi National Park; both are compared on price, aircraft and pickup.

The Helicopter ride over the falls ran really smoothly and all the team and the pilot were very professional and very friendly and the views were out of this world, we then had a great lunch at Lookout watching the zipline and swing over the gorge, the team even took us to town to do some shopping on the way back to the hotel as we had forgotten some phone adaptors and…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 62 reviews · 22 minutes - 1 hour · from $189

Fly above Victoria Falls, Batoka Gorge, and the Zambezi on a 15, 22, or 30-minute helicopter trip from Livingstone.

“The pick up driver was about ten minutes late so it was a bit of a rush to get on the chopper as other passengers were waiting. The flight was great and so was the commentary but unfortunately the couple on the flight with us had a young child who constantly made noises on the microphone. Also both parents took window seats one in the front and one in the back which meant that my wife had a central rear seat with limited view and with a parent and child across the back making it a tight squeeze for three adults and a child. It would be good to know…”

“1. The helicopter does not take you close to the gorge. Instead the closet you get to the falls is 5000 ft from the sky. 2. The included lunch is a deceptive claim. You get to select only one entre (either a salad, a main dish or a desert). 3. Drinks Read more”
