About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- marksD8555WQ0 contributionsGreat to see Victoria Falls from a different perspective!Good experience all round. Only issue I had was that I couldn't hear the pilot when he was communicating with us. The volume knob did not work on my headset. A very professional.Written 18 October 2024
- SteveMXP0 contributionsGloriously chilled bible down a wonderful riverOne of the must do activities at Victoria Falls. You won't see much wildlife (apart from hippos, lots of hippos) but the two hours gently going up and down the river with the setting sun was one of the highlights of our trip. The drinks included were excellent - we settled on some 'old fashioned' cocktails and the food at the restaurant was very good too.Written 17 October 2024
- Novi M0 contributionsZambezi wine and dine with viewsThe dinner was delicious and the river was beautiful. We saw elephants drinking and hippos in the water. The sunset was absolutely stunning.Written 5 October 2024
- Freedom612394580020 contributionsThe best therapy to experienceThe experience was magnificent with beautiful landscape and vast variety of animals, from land animals to aquatic ones.Written 16 September 2024
- AllenRossouw0 contributionsGood View of the FallsAmazing views of the falls from the air. Pickup from hotel was good and processing to the flight and off was good. Only down side the cost of the video was a tad steep.Written 6 September 2024
- Rileyjr0 contributionsAngel of FlightThe best view of the falls are from the air. The only bummer was we wasn't told about the $25 per person park fee added on to the ride. We took the 12 to 13 minute flight, and it was just right.Written 16 July 2024
- mtf1510 contributionsNot our video! Could only check it out after we were home! Sad! It should have been a great memory! We were there 4/18The team has been unresponsive to requests for our video we paid extra for. No one we knew! Not as advertised! Beware! SadWritten 15 July 2024
- Mike J0 contributionsVictoria Falls Helicopter ride.Check in was chaotic. I was separated from our group, and then forgotten. Once Tour guide got involved, I was quickly boarded with another couple as the third. From then on, cannot recommend this enough. Great views amd awesome pilot. Very smooth flight. The views are unparalleled and well worth the cost. Recommend this as a must do!!Written 2 July 2024
- G3620GLmichellem0 contributionsVictoria Falls by helicopter is unforgettableThe transfer to and from the helicopter pad was seamless and the drivers were very friendly. The helicopter ride over Victoria Falls was the highlight of our time in Victoria Falls. I'm a waterfall chaser and have visited many, many waterfalls... seeing Victoria Falls from every angle was a dream come true. While 13 minutes may seem like a short amount of time, it was actually perfect for viewing the falls. The flight path ensures everyone gets to the see the falls from all angles. Incredible, spectacular, breathtaking... thank you mother nature and To Do Africa. One suggestion - ensure you remember the $25 /pp fee you have to pay at the launch site.Written 24 June 2024
- P5032DTrebeccas0 contributionsAwesome experienceWow! What more can I say. The organizers run things like clockwork, the trip over the falls is excellent and such a smooth ride too. Loved it. Definitely worth the moneyWritten 17 June 2024

Toilets on board very clean great tour highly recommend this company as delivered high standardsWritten 16 June 2024
- lmp1180 contributionsExcellentIt was fabulous! Boat wasn’t too big and not crowded. The 4 course meal was excellent (appetisers, soup, b fe fillet, panacotta). Good choice of wine and branded spirits. Staff were so friendly and service first rate. We saw hippos and fabulous sunset. Would definitely recommend it and would do it again.Written 6 June 2024
- HarryB1234z0 contributionsWonderful experienceEverything about the trip was efficiently organised - from pick-up and return to hotel, explanations and information pre-flight and the flight itself. Which was memorable. With views of the falls, the river and the surrounding countryside. At the end the photos and video package was worth every penny it cost. Altogether an unforgettable experience.Written 22 May 2024

We splurged for the upper open deck! Well worth the little bit extra cost.
Very slow, calm ride down the Zambezi, flanked both Zim & Zam :)
Cocktails were lovely, appetizers were ok when we weren’t missed.
Sailed toward sunset and saw some elephants, a crocodile and a couple of lions along the shores.
Staff were polite and very courteous.
Definitely the nicest boat on the river and the only one with 3 decks.

Lovely sunset cruise on the well appointed upper deck. Nice selection of snacks and appetizers and cocktails. They were happy to provide enough vegetarian choices as requested. Well staffed and nice evening activity when in Vic Falls.

It was the most amazing sunset that I have even seen. Enjoyed viewing the animals along the river bank and the snacks and drinks as we cruised on the Zambezi River.
