Take to the skies on a breathtaking helicopter journey with United Air Charter (UAC) and witness the awe-inspiring beauty of the Zambezi River and the Victoria Falls – one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, or 'The Smoke That Thunders'. This iconic waterfall is a truly spectacular natural phenomenon, throwing up a cloud of spray that sometimes reaches 300-metres high.
The options of either 13 - 15 minutes, 18 - 22 minutes and 25 - 30 minutes flights offer an unparalleled aerial perspective, allowing you to fully appreciate the immense scale and raw power of the falls as the Zambezi River plunges dramatically into the gorge below. From above, witness the mist rising into the air, forming simmering rainbows that create an ethereal, almost heavenly atmosphere - an experience that lives up to its angelic name 'Flight of Angels'.
Please note that helicopter flights are weather-permitting. Each helicopter has a middle seat, and there is no guarantee of a window seat – it is on a first-come, first-served basis.
INSIDER’S TIP: This excursion gives you a better understanding of the zigzag gorge system and how it developed – it also ideally complements a ground tour of the Falls and its surrounding rainforest.
