“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.”

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!”
