About this experience

Named after David Livingstone’s famous quote, “Scenes so lovely they must have been gazed by upon by angels in their flight”. After take-off, we head straight for the Falls. After doing a figure of eight over the Falls, which gives you the best views possible, we head upstream and fly over the Zambezi National Park where you get the opportunity to spot game from the air.
Combine the beauty and thrills of the Flight of the Angels with a flight downstream over the Batoka gorge and additional time over the Zambezi National Park, where you have another opportunity to spot wildlife. This flight gives you the opportunity to view the magnificent Zambezi in its three states: the meandering peaceful river above the Falls, the Falls themselves, and the rapids and white water of the Zambezi below the Falls. This flight should not be missed.

Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

It’s time to whip out your bucket list. There’s no better way to see the scale, magnificence, and beauty of the Victoria Falls than from the air. But it’s not just the Falls that you’ll see from a different angle. We take a whirl around the Batoka Gorge, the Victoria Falls Bridge, and the Zambezi River before we fly over the Zambezi National Park where you’ll have the opportunity to spot game from up above.

Our helicopters have specially developed bubble windows for the best views possible, and we don’t sell middle seats, so guests are guaranteed uninterrupted views. Our helipad is five minutes from town, it’s the closest in Victoria Falls, so you’ll be over the Falls almost immediately after take-off.
