"Helicopter Flight - Zimbabwe review"

Based at Ilala Lodge on 28 Apr 2024
"The helicopter flight over Victoria Falls is one of the highlights from our trip to Southern Africa.

It offered amazing views over the falls.

Transfers were smoothly organized, and the team was nice.

We had the 13-minute flight. Only (little) negative point: we saw little added value in the pictures & videos taken by the company during our flight, as there were a few pictures from us and everything else was pre-recorded views. We therefore declined it as it was a paying option at 50 USD." Read more about this whole safari

"Excellent experience, and the best way to really see the Falls in all their glory and which complemented the views gained on the walking tour the previous day.

The short (12-13 minute) flight was sufficient for my needs." Read more about this whole safari

"Helicopter Flight [11-2019]"

Based at Victoria Falls Hotel on 12 Nov 2019
"Travel intention: 9th trip to africa, looking for unique safari experience throughout Africa in a comfortable to luxurious Setting.

I recommend to first take a walk at the Victoria Falls and do the Helicopter Flight thereafter. Thereby you will already have a detailed Knowledge about the area and be able to get more out the air-view experience. Overall great experience which you will remember Long afterwards, it is worth it.
Overall well organized, we were picked up and brought back to our hotel. Some annoying details have already been described (i) they try to sell you an overprized movie afterwards, which you don't have to (ii) and there is no Talk/Explanation during the flight itself, but These do not interfere with the Overall experience."

"Helicopter Flight - Zimbabwe review"

Based at Victoria Falls Safari Club on 5 Oct 2019
"Excellent activity and offered great views of the falls. We also saw elephant and buffalo in the national park as we flew overhead. Everything is filmed and at the end the staff work hard to sell you the video which feels a bit of a tourist trap. The activity is very touristy but good fun." Read more about this whole safari

"Helicopter Flight - Zimbabwe review"

Based at Victoria Falls Hotel on 19 Nov 2018
"Wow, it was superb, the pilot banked to allow good views and picture taking, to both sides, so everyone on board had equal views. The pilot pointed out things of interest, the hotels we were staying in, the animals, and the islands in the river.

The only down side was being weighed before getting in the helicopter!!!!!! ( it was honestly a heavy handbag!!! )" Read more about this whole safari

"Short and sweet"

Based at Victoria Falls Hotel on 21 Oct 2016
"Even though it was not the best season for rainfall the Falls still take your breath away and the flight circled both ways several times so that everyone can see the falls and the rainbows.

They do a little touristy talk afterwards where you can buy a video of yourself and your flight complete with interesting facts about the area." Read more about this whole safari

"could have been better"

Based at Ilala Lodge on 1 Jul 2016
"six people in a helicopter( one overweight person sitting in the middle of three) made it very cramped. we are sure the person in the middle did not see much and we would have been bitterly disappointed if we had been that person. as it was Gill was on the outside of the three and was very uncomfortable. we enjoyed it but it could have been better."
