Description
The Zambezi River undergoes a unique transformation visible on this scenic flight operated by Zambezi Helicopter Company, known for the Flight of Angels. The journey includes flying directly over Victoria Falls, where the river drops over 100 metres across a 1.7-kilometre-wide curtain of water, a UNESCO natural wonder and one of the most powerful waterfalls worldwide.
The flight starts at the Zambezi Helipad and follows the raging river through Batoka Gorge, passing Rapid Number 8, known as Midnight Diner among rafters. The helicopter traces the narrow canyon, sometimes just 30 metres wide.
After the Falls, the route continues upstream to Long Island, where the river widens and meanders through islands rich in wildlife. The flight ends by passing over Victoria Falls town before returning to the helipad. This experience offers a complete aerial story of the river's transformation and surrounding landscapes.
