Victoria Falls Helicopter Flights

Victoria Falls 15- 30 Minutes

Experience Overview

Experience one of Africa’s most iconic aerial adventures with a helicopter flight over the legendary Victoria Falls. Known as the “Flight of Angels,” this scenic helicopter tour provides breathtaking panoramic views of the world’s largest curtain of falling water, the mighty Zambezi River, Batoka Gorge, and surrounding wilderness areas.

Flights typically depart from helipads near Victoria Falls town or Livingstone and include sweeping circular passes over both the Zimbabwean and Zambian sides of the falls, ensuring all passengers enjoy exceptional photo opportunities. Longer flights continue downstream into the dramatic Batoka Gorge and upstream over the Zambezi River where wildlife such as elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and buffalo may be spotted.
