Whilst at Victoria Falls and having already seen how beautiful it was from the ground i though i would tick off another item off the list and also get a broader and more complete view of the falls from inside of a Helicopter.
Frankie, Yen and I all booked in an afternoon helicopter flight over the falls. We were joined by 2 other randoms and the pilot The flight would take approximately 20 minutes and do 2 laps of the falls for either side of the plane. After a initial jolting start that had me facing the ground and caused me to panic slightly, we took off and were cruising over the terrain with various wild animals below. Within 2 minutes we were at the falls.
The helicopter provided excellent views of the river and the full 1.7km of the falls and you could see the torrent of water and spray from hitting the bottom with excellent detail. The pilot tilted to copter to provide a better view of the falls so we were looking directly down on the falls.
The helicopter ride itself, whilst short, was an amazing experience and worth the cost and the added bonus of taking the flight over Victoria Falls and seeing a different view of this awesome display of nature made it even better.
