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.”

“The pick up driver was about ten minutes late so it was a bit of a rush to get on the chopper as other passengers were waiting. The flight was great and so was the commentary but unfortunately the couple on the flight with us had a young child who constantly made noises on the microphone. Also both parents took window seats one in the front and one in the back which meant that my wife had a central rear seat with limited view and with a parent and child across the back making it a tight squeeze for three adults and a child. It would be good to know…”

“I was pleased to find this experience available so that I could book it directly, making it less expensive. I also appreciated the pick up and drop off service. However, I was added to a family of four, and although we each had our own window for visibility, due to weight considerations, I ended up sitting with three members of the family and the mother had to sit separately in the front. I felt that adding me to this Family experience minimized their enjoyment and mine as well. The description of the experience is accurate in that we did circle Victoria Falls several times from the air. Unfortunately, due to…”
