Scenic Gorge Flight

Activity Description

Combine the awe-inspiring Flight of Angels with the breathtaking scenic flight over the Batoka Gorge, all the way up to Rapid #14 and back. You get a chance to see the Falls again on your way back.
The helicopter flies just over the gorge, but not inside the gorge, for safety and environmental reasons. This also allows one to appreciate the beauty and grandeur of this natural phenomenon and to take good pictures.

Guests or SpectatorsThe Zambezi Helicopter Company works with M.A.R.S. (Medical Air Rescue Service) and other medical air rescue organisations to provide medical evacuations and casevacs when called upon in emergency situations in the outlying areas of Victoria Falls. This includes landing in the Batoka Gorge and Zambezi National Park to attend to accidents and to ferry injured persons to medical facilities in Victoria Falls or Hwange (100km) if needed. This requires us to be constantly training with the M.A.R.S. staff in the injured person loading and unloading procedures and helicopter safety in approach and exit from a working helicopter. Should your flight be disrupted due to a medical emergency, your flight will be rescheduled. If this is not possible you will get a full refund on any payments made.
