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.

Amazing flight over Victoria falls

JeanMarie_P, May 2024

fantastic view of Victoria falls and surroundings. However, when booking the flights it was not mentioned that the price you quotes did not inclide the USD 30 per person for government taxes that I had to pay on site.

Worth the price

Sally_B, May 2024

It was worth the price to see the falls this way. Company was good and definitely recommend………. We did longer flight

Awesome Experience

Carolyn_H, Apr 2024

Went on the long flight. So worth it. Saw a large herd of elephant and zebra. So amazing seeing them from above. The falls were spectacular.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thank you for the positive review. We are glad your experience was memorable. We hope to see you again

Great experience.

Ripped off

jodi_g, Mar 2024

I feel totally ripped off. I splurged for the long helicopter ride, which promised 25-27 minutes. I started a timer right before we took off. The pilot went in for a landing at less than 22 minutes. I said something and he claimed it was 23, which it wasn’t, but even if that was true, that’s not 25! So he admitted we didn’t get full time. He made a small useless circle near the helipad just to add another minute, which was even more ridiculous. We hardly had any time looking for animals, which is what I paid the extension for. Their bigger helicopter was down for routine maintenance and there were a ton of people waiting around for flights, so clearly they were overbooked and just rushing people through. (There were two upset couple who booked a flight together and had to fly separately because the other chopper wasn’t available). To make matters worse, the vehicle in which I was driven back to my hotel reeked of gasoline. J mentioned it to the driver who told me unapologetically the car had a gas leak. This is dangerous and made me absolutely gaseous and light-headed. Do this, but go with another company.

A view to remember

Amazing experience wonderful view of Victoria Falls and the Zambezi River as well as a great view of the national park

Over charged at the airport told $15 and charged $30 and helicopter flight at 2.00 eventually happened at 2.45 and we we

Linda_K, Nov 2023

The view was worth all the hassle at the airport and it was not the ground crews fault. The tour company should have updated us when they asked for pickup location

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Dear Linda. I am sorry that you feel this way. There was obviously a good reason why your flight was delayed. When you booked the flight it was written all over that the government fees were $30 for the long flight and $25 for the short flight. I am not sure where you got the impression that the government fees are $15 Once again thank you for your support Regards lloyd

prompt pick up and enjoyable flight

Pamela_A, Sep 2023

We were picked up right on time at our hotel! We took the longer flight which circled the falls a couple times which was nice. They could skip the game park flyover and fly up the river a little further to possibly see animals. The game park itself looked like a lot of it had burned and there were very few animals to see, so was a waste of time. There are a lot of helicopters in the air and our pilot did a good job of listening to the radio and watching although it doesn't give you a chance to ask many questions...safety first though. All in all we enjoyed the flight!

Just WOW!

Dianna_D, Aug 2023

An absolute don’t miss experience - seeing the Falls from above is absolutely incredible! The Zambezi is also astounding. And we also saw giraffes, elephants, Cape buffalo and an enormous pod of hippos. Highly recommend!!

Birds Eye View

Andrea_D, Jul 2023

Amazing flight over the falls followed by the Zambezi and Game Park - saw hippopotamus, elephants and giraffe from the sky.

A true perspective of the falls

Kenneth_E, Jun 2023

To view the falls in all its power and splendour is not necessarily achievable with the 'cloud'(s) presence. If you do a ground visit and chopper flight your memories and photography will be complete. Although a costly exercise it really is worth a potential one off expense.

What a beautiful experience

Timothy_M, Jun 2023

This slightly longer helicopter ride is definitely worth the extra cost. We spent quite a lot of time looking at the falls from all angles and then headed up the Zambezi to view the river. Spotting a bloat of hippos lounging in the water from above was a unique sight. From there you head out over land where we saw water buffalo and elephants roaming about. I highly recommend this tour.

Aristrocracy

Tim_R, Jun 2023

A different group ( 2 guys) thought they could take control of the helo because they had big cameras. They wanted the best seats so they could open windows and take pictures w/o glass. What a crap ——. Why were they special? I had to fly backward and see everything late and backward.

Nice flight nothing special

jainramb, Apr 2023

It was a nice flight. Nothing special to mention Not sure if I want to take it again They tried to sell a video afterwards.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Dear Jainramd Thank you for flying with us and thank you for the review.

Exciting!

Binu_G, Aug 2022

This was very well organized. We bought 25 min flight option. We were picked up from our hotel on time. When we reached, we were checked in right away - took about 10 min. Four of us and two more people. We were walked to the aircraft and seated in. There were 5 window seats and there was a little girl on her own who was seated between me and my husband and didn't have a window, but good view nonetheless. The pilot circled the falls a few times. After about 15 min, we drove over the national park to spot wild life. The only thing spotted was a herd of elephants which most of us missed. My daughter pointed it out as she heard it on her headphones. We didn't hear instructions as our headphones were NOT working :(. and helicopter had moved on by the time my daughter pointed it out to us. We purchased the video for $40. It was very well put together. Overall amazing view of waterfalls and fun activity.

Flying high!

Karen_C, Jul 2022

Great flight.. pilot was excellent.. pointed out sights, locations and animals.. stunning views of the river, gorge and falls.. would do it again!

Grandios

Juergen_B, Oct 2023

Ist jeden Cent wert. Vollkommen problemloser Ablauf, von der Abholung und Rückfahrt, bis zum Flug selbst. Freundlicher Empfang und ein unvergessliches Erlebnis.

Scandaleux ! Des voleurs !!

Sandrine_R, Sep 2023

Des voleurs ! Nous avions un accord écrit, pour 1 vol avec 2.personnes, un prix arrêté, avec un supplément de 15 dollars de taxes, et un suplement de 15 dollars de carburant. On le savait, on était d accord, bien que très cher à l arrivée. Ils oui ont comptés 30 dollars de taxes encore en plus, soit 60 dollars au total de taxes, ce qui n est prévu nulle part. Ils n ont rien voulu savoir, sinon on perdait le vol ! Honteux ! Plus de 600 dollars le vol, pour même pas les 25 minutes minimim prévus ! Nous commençons un tour du monde, je tiens un blog de voyage depuis des années , j ai un peu plus de 50 000 followers !!! Je suis en train de les discriminer auprès de tous, ils vont le regretter !!

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Chère Sandra Je suis désolé que vous ressentiez cela. Lorsque vous réservez, nous avons écrit partout que vous devez payer des frais gouvernementaux de 30 $ par personne. Je suis désolé que vous ayez oublié cela. Des frais supplémentaires sont facturés pour un vol privé, que vous devrez payer, je crains. Notre vol et notre itinéraire durent entre 25 et 27 minutes. Salutations Lloyd

Einfach nur großartig

Sandra_R, Aug 2023

Großartiges Erlebnis. Nur von oben kann man die Dimension der Wasserfälle richtig sehen. Dazu riesige!! Büffel- und Elefantenherden gesehen. Extrem nette Pilotin und tolle Organisation am Boden. Ich werde es nicht mehr vergessen.

vol superbe, prestation moyenne

nicolas_D, Jul 2023

vous signaler des frais et taxe de 15et 15 dollar US en oubliant de préciser que c'est PAR PERSOONNE : 90 dollar à rajouter au budget Le vol a duré plutôt 20 minutes que 25-30 comme annoncé Le personel sur place fait du forcing pour vous vendre une "vidéo" à la fin du tour en hélicoptère.J'ai cru que nous resterions bloqué jusqu'au moment où nous aurions acheté leur vidéo ( 40 dollar US)

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Hello. Thank you for the review. It is very clear when you book that you have to pay government tax at the helipad. These fees are on your ticket and are in bold letters From the start to finish we have a set route that we fly every day that’s takes up about 27 or 30 minutes.
