Victoria Falls Helicopter Flights: 12 Minutes or 25, and What You See

From the air you see what the ground cannot show you: the full width of the Falls, the zigzag of the Batoka Gorge and the Zambezi above it. Here is how the flights work and how to…

The Flight of Angels

Where the name comes from

Helicopter flights over Victoria Falls are often called the Flight of Angels, after a line attributed to David Livingstone, that scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight. The name stuck, and it is the one view of the Falls you cannot get from any path or bridge.

The 12 to 13 minute flight

The Falls, the river and the gorge

The scenic flight gives you a bird's-eye view of Victoria Falls, the Zambezi River and the Batoka Gorge. The pilot typically flies several circles so everyone gets clear views and photographs, whichever side of the helicopter they sit on. It starts from $220 per person, with hotel pickup and drop-off included.

The 25 minute flight

The extended route

The 25-minute flight is the extended Flight of Angels: more time over Victoria Falls and the Zambezi River, and long enough for the pilot to fly several circles of the Falls. It starts from $384 per person and includes hotel pickup and a bottle of water. Airport pickups are not included.

How the day works

Hotel to helipad and back

A driver collects you from your hotel in Victoria Falls and takes you to the helipad. You check in and board for the flight. After landing you are met at the helipad and driven back to your hotel. The whole outing is short, so it fits around a Falls tour or a cruise.

Which should you choose

12 minutes is enough for most people

For most travellers the 12 to 13 minute flight is enough to see the Falls properly from above. The 25-minute flight suits keen photographers and anyone who wants more time over the river. If the budget allows only one, book the shorter flight and spend the difference on a sunset cruise.
