The best views of the Victoria
Falls and the winding gorges of the Zambezi River are from the air.
The best time to fly over the 1.7 km falls is when the spray is at
its highest. From April to June the massive volume of water makes
its own spectacular rainbows.
The additional option of a game flight over the Victoria Falls National
Park offers you a good chance of seeing elephant, buffalo, giraffe, hippo
and antelope at the edge of the river.
These breathtaking flights over the Victoria Falls are often dubbed
‘Flight of the Angels’ after the explorer David Livingstone's
words, ‘Scenes so beautiful...must have been gazed upon by angels
in their flight’.
From the Zimbabwe side, there are exciting flights by a small 6-seater
plane or by a helicopter that is able to swoop low over the falls.
On the Zambian side there are flights by microlight, an alternative
and thrilling way to see the views with no glass or aircraft frame
between you and the falls below.
The trips are very personalised as only one passenger can be carried
per flight sitting in a harness beneath the pilot.
