★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 286 reviews · from $265

“Very well organised, picked us up from our hotel, Fred our driver was great, told us all about the area. On arrival we were given a safety briefing and straight to the helicopter. The flight over and around the Falls was excellent and gave you a real perspective of the size and topography of the Falls. We then did a fight down river and over some of the national park, where we saw Elephant, Zebra and Antelope. It was a fantastic experience. And, we bought the video.”

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

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

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.”

6.Victoria Falls Helicopter Flights

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 62 reviews · 22 minutes - 1 hour · from $189

From your Livingstone accommodation, transfer to Maramba Airfield for an English-guided helicopter flight over Victoria Falls. Choose 15, 22, or 30 minutes, with longer flights adding Batoka Gorge, villages, and the Zambezi River toward rapid 26.

“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…”

7.Victoria Falls: Flight of Angels Helicopter Experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 62 reviews · 12 min · from $173

“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…”
