The immensity and power of the massive, sometimes slow and sometimes dangerously fast Zambezi River as well as its beauty and drama is best seen from the air. In 1855, David Livingstone, Scottish missionary and explorer, arguably the first European to see the Falls said, “Scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight." To see the Zambezi from the same viewpoint as those beings is an unforgettable experience. It puts not only the river, but also the huge Victoria Falls, into perspective. Victoria Falls is 1708m wide and 125m high, and in the rainy season, 500 million liters of water crashes over the edge every single minute.

Hovering over the Victoria Falls with the spray, which can be seen 40kms away, billowing around you and you will experience for yourself why the Falls are one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Sweeping through the Bakota gorges the power of the river can be seen through the deep, impressive, basalt gorges carved by the water. From the air, the sunlight glittering on the mighty river looks like thousands of diamonds have been scattered across its surface.

The helicopter flight reveals views across the beautiful national park open out in a way that never happens on a land-based game drive. Soaring high and sweeping up-river you can see clearly how the water has formed the landscape through which it has carved its way towards the Indian Ocean. The Zambezi commands the types of vegetation that grows along its banks and even the land beyond its shores.

Your helicopter flight starts at the Masuwe Helipad, and for a time ranging from 15 to 25 mins (your choice). The Flight of the Angels, and the Victoria Falls themselves are both an experience which you will never forget.
