3.Helicopter Scenic Flight over Victoria Falls 25-27 Minutes Game

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 286 reviews · from $265

Fly 25 to 30 minutes from a helipad in Zambezi National Park over Victoria Falls, the Zambezi River, and nearby wildlife areas. Hotel pickup, an air-conditioned vehicle, bubble-window views, and a safety briefing are included. The longer route may show elephants, giraffes, hippos, buffalo, or zebra, but sightings vary.

“I recommend you do the longer scenic ride as you see so much more. It was an incredible experience to see Victoria Falls from up above and the wild landscape beyond. My only issue was that when we did ours the 2 people sitting behind the pilot did not get as much time viewing the Falls as the others which was not really fair.”
