What Travelers Say
Rated 4.7/5 by verified GetYourGuide travelers.
An absolute must-do at Victoria Falls. Seeing the full width of the falls from above is something that stays with you. The pilot was great and hotel pickup was seamless.

Breathtaking from start to finish. The perspective from the helicopter is completely different from ground level — you really appreciate the scale of the falls only from the air.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the helicopter flight?
The flight lasts approximately 15 minutes and covers the full width of Victoria Falls, the Batoka Gorge, and the upper Zambezi River from the air.
What is the best time of year for the helicopter tour?
The falls are at their most spectacular between February and May when the Zambezi is in flood and the spray plume rises high. The dry season (June–October) offers clearer views and better photography conditions. Both seasons have their appeal.
