They were very courteous. Safety was always first. The views were spectacular. Amazing to look down on so many rainbows over the falls

    US$25 additional helicopter parking fees asked

    Xing_R, Jan 2026
    I paid online but when I arrived the site a black guy singled me out and asked for US$25 extra. He said it is for helicopter parking fees. I asked why I was the only person here to be asked to pay more, he then waived the charge. I was alone to join this flight. All the fees should be made transparent.

    Air view way better than ground view

    John_C, Dec 2025
    View from the top can never be compared to viewing on the ground. The splendor and spectacular waterfall curtain can be seen in its entirety. Watch the mighty Zambezi and its islands as the ravaging flow approaches the waterfall and turn into the meandering gorge. Far down below emerges water from the power generating tunnel producing electricity for Livingstone hydro power station. The helicopter route is well planned for an efficient view from above. Definitely a “flight of the angels”!!

    A must do…fabulous views...

    Mary_M, Sep 2025
    A must do…fabulous views of the Falls….better than from on the ground. Put on bug spray though as the terminal has quite a few

    Flight of fantasy

    Rob_A, Sep 2025
    A great experience, we travelled as a group of 4 and flew 2x2 (2 in each of 2 short trips). Very friendly, professional team. Awesome photos, videos and memories to keep.

    Wonderful experience that musn't be missed.

    Great experience, slight communication error.

    Deitre_C, Jun 2025
    The ride itself was fantastic. The only reason I didn’t give a 5 is that I listed my hotel being in Livingstone, Zambia, and it was confirmed. I was failed to be notified I needed to meet the driver at the border that they wouldn’t come to my hotel. I didn’t find out this information until the day before when I called them to see what the pick up time was. This information should be on the site or in the confirmation email. Everyone was cordial and helpful.

    Fantastic experience, can see the extent of the falls

    Beverley_S, May 2025
    The pick up was late, but the flight was fantastic not to get missed. Staff were curious and explained the safety requirements

    Views are worth it

    Margie_A, May 2025
    Amazing views and worth the cost if you can afford. Its an amazong experience seeing animals from the sky - completely different perspective to add to our safari experience.

    Highlight of the trip!

    Vanessa_Y, Dec 2024
    What a beautiful experience. I booked it a couple of hours before on the same day. They reached out to me and everything was so easy. For those who are staying in Zambia side, they can arrange for you to be taken to the Zimbabwe border for an extra fee and then, they pick you up from the other side take you to the helicopter point (not on the description but was easy to sort out). The pilot was amazing, 20 years of experience. The video they make for you is nice! Truly breathtaking experience.

    Family trip

    Kristy_J, Oct 2024
    This was a very memorable experience for our family of 4 (2 children). We are happy that we purchased a professionally made film of our experience from the on-site photographer for US$30. We have watched it over and over and sent it to family and friends. While not really related to the experience itself, please be aware of the misleading wording on Viator in regard to extra fees. You will need to pay an extra US$25 per person for this; not $15 park fees per person and one lot of $10 fuel levy as it reads on Viator. This is worth it but could be an issue if you don’t come prepared with the extra money because of what is written.

    Distressing and poor value for money

    Heather_O, Sep 2024
    Distressed to be filmed without my knowledge to begin with and without my consent. Even after I asked not to be filmed it continued. So NOT impressed

    Response from Host, Sep 2024

    Sincere Apology for Filming Without Consent Dear Heather I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to extend my sincerest apologies for filming you without your consent during our recent Helicopter Scenic flight on 22 September 2024. I understand that this was a breach of your privacy and trust, and I deeply regret any distress or inconvenience this may have caused you. At MJ Air, we take privacy and consent very seriously. This incident was an oversight on our part, and we are taking immediate steps to ensure that such a situation does not occur again in the future. We are reviewing our policies and providing additional training to our staff to reinforce the importance of obtaining explicit consent before any filming or recording. Please be assured that any footage taken without your consent has been permanently deleted and will not be used in any capacity. We value your trust and are committed to maintaining the highest standards of respect and professionalism. We have a filming department that records the flight experience for clients to purchase if they are interested and we ask for permission to record during the safety briefing before the flight which are reviewing to confirm consent during pickup of the clients. If there is anything we can do to address your concerns or if you would like to discuss this matter further, please do not hesitate to contact me directly at smilo@mjair.co.zw. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we are here to make things right. Once again, I apologize for this oversight and any discomfort it may have caused. Thank you for your understanding and patience. Sincerely, Smilo Nkomo Marketing Manager smilo@mjair.co.zw

    Amazing view!!

    Elizabeth_K, Sep 2024
    Unbelievable, the view was incredible! Even though it was dry season, so the falls aren’t in full flow, it was awesome, still highly recommend! Our pilot also found a herd of elephants and giraffes for us - just magical! Pilot was a lovely man, answered all my questions!

    A Stunning Tour

    Stephen_E, May 2024
    It's simply a "must-do" experience to see Vic Falls from above! Seeing elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebra and more was also great fun.

    Response from Host, May 2024

    Thank you so much for the review, it was a great pleasure hosting you. warm regards, Smilo

    Fantastic experience

    Alison_R, Mar 2024
    Spectacular flight over the majestic falls and also seeing giraffe, elephant and buffalo was amazing! Highly recommend!

    Great experience

    Gail_L, Dec 2023
    What a memorable experience! Well worth the money, the only regret I have is that I took the 15minute one and not the 30min. Afterwards they give you the option to buy the video for R500 but you are also allowed to take your own camera and cell with.

    Experience

    Juergen_D, Oct 2025
    Great organized unique experience to fly over the falls and see the indescribable natural event from above.

    Cases and animals from above

    Brigitte_W, Aug 2025
    2 rounds about the Victoria Falls with experienced pilot and animals from above in the longer flight or just the falls, depending on your interest, both cool.

    Absolutely spectacular! Recommendation!

    Karsten_S, Aug 2025
    Absolutely spectacular. We were only on the sightseeing flight and then knew exactly where we were during the walk through the park. Team absolutely professional and courteous. As one reviewer noted earlier, don't be irritated: there were only 25USD fees per person for the shorter flight. Euro go too, rate 1:1 of course:-) The video is highly recommended, but is shown before purchase.

    Deslumbrante!

    Idilio_F, Apr 2025
    Um momento absolutamente memorável de uma viagem sobre as quedas de águas da Victoria Falls. Uma visão previligiada e deslumbrante sobre a queda de água, a morfologia do terreno e a natureza envolvente.
