3.Victoria Falls Scenic Day Tour with Lunch & Helicopter Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 188 reviews · 6 hours · from $265Best value

See all 16 Victoria Falls viewpoints with an English-speaking guide, then take a 13 to 15-minute helicopter flight over the falls, Zambezi, Batoka Gorge, and bridge. Finish with a one-course lunch at Lookout Cafe, with guides such as Jacob and More Blessings often praised for their care.

“We had a wonderful day. We were picked up on the Zambia side and the transfer was smooth across to Zimbabwe. We were guided around the falls and then given time to shop in the market outside and time to ourselves for lunch which was nice. The helicopter ride was definitely worth it. We went when the water was at its peak so seeing it from above really helped to grasp the scale. Brilliant lunch spot with good food and a fantastic view.”

“For a special occasion, or even just because, this is a sensational trip to do. On time, professional pick up from our hotel, followed by a required safety information session, but it wasn't long til we were in the sky. Landing on Middle Cay just as the tide was receding was fantastic. While we snorkelled, our pilot laid out a picnic rug and champagne brunch - a very generous offering compared to others we have experienced! Having two hours to snorkle, swim, lie in the sun and just enjoy the reef was wonderful. An experience we couldn't recommend more highly!”
