Overview

Victoria Falls is spectacular from the ground, but the landscapes surrounding it reveal an entirely different story from the air.

The Explore the Zambezi helicopter flight offers an extended approximately 22-minute scenic journey combining the iconic Flight of Angels with an unforgettable aerial exploration of Batoka Gorge.

Your adventure begins with a flight towards the magnificent Victoria Falls, where you can appreciate the immense scale of the waterfall, its cascading waters and the mist rising above the surrounding rainforest.

Beyond the Falls, the helicopter follows the Zambezi River through the impressive Batoka Gorge. Carved over thousands of years by the mighty river, this dramatic landscape features steep cliffs, rugged rock formations and spectacular river scenery.

The journey continues towards Rapid 16 before returning along the gorge, providing further opportunities to appreciate the natural beauty of the Zambezi.

For travellers seeking more than a short aerial view of Victoria Falls, Explore the Zambezi delivers a longer, more immersive scenic experience.
