A trip up river and back over the Zambezi National Park completes your flight. The activity includes return transfers from the helipad.

From the air!
Great views of the Falls! Nice contrast to the views from the cliffs.

Unflexible, expensive, unorganized
Arranged a Flight in the Morning the day prior with our agent here. they tried to charge us 350$ for some transports that normally cost 50$ so we had to get a new quota with our own transports and suddenly our slot was full. They didn‘t have a free slot for us and we had to wait infront of their office for 1:30h. Then we were ready to bring the two who didn‘t want to go on the flight but wanted a small discount for it - no chance. We were sent away. We then did the rhino walk with them which was very expensive 110$ instead of 65$ with other tour guides. Now we are still waiting for the rhino walk to start (another 1h when there is just 12h of daylight a day.) The rhino walk itself i cannot rate yet - might be good.

An experience of a life time
It was amazing, the pilot flew us over and over the falls about 5 times from every angle and our pics were like they were out of a magazine even the ones with just our cell phones. It was very different to actually going to to the falls. Coming off the helicopter my heart was racing but with pure excitement as this experience was an absolute thrill.

The Good the BAD and the Ugly
TripAdvisor and Wild Horizon have Very poor communication. I booked 8am flights and WH had us at 10:45! Plus a group that showed up with a guide LAST MINUTE got to go before us. All this interfered with our other activities. The flight was great.

Simply spectacular!!!
The helicopter ride over the falls is an amazing way to see the falls, and 12-13 minutes is more than enough time to take it all in. The staff is friendly and professional; the flight organization is a well-oiled machine!

Helicopter Flight 12/13 Minute (Zimbabwe): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Victoria Falls.
How much does Helicopter Flight 12/13 Minute (Zimbabwe) cost?
+
Prices start at $174 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Victoria Falls usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Helicopter Flight 12/13 Minute (Zimbabwe) take?
+
Plan for about 0.2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Victoria Falls is not rushed.
Is Helicopter Flight 12/13 Minute (Zimbabwe) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.6/5 across 22 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Victoria Falls, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Helicopter Flight 12/13 Minute (Zimbabwe)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Helicopter Flight 12/13 Minute (Zimbabwe) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Helicopter Flight 12/13 Minute (Zimbabwe)?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Victoria Falls can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Victoria Falls and add a light layer if any part of the 0.2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Helicopter Flight 12/13 Minute (Zimbabwe) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Victoria Falls within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Victoria Falls?
+
On Outty we rank every Victoria Falls experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guided Tour of the Falls (Zimbabwe side), Zambezi River Class IV-V White-Water Rafting from Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe & Zambia: Guided Tour of the Falls from Both Sides. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Victoria Falls?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Victoria Falls?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Helicopter Flight 12/13 Minute (Zimbabwe)?
+
Included: Round-trip shared transfer. Not included: Gratuities; DVD (available to purchase); Souvenir photos (available to purchase); and Surcharges on fuel. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Helicopter Flight 12/13 Minute (Zimbabwe) include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 34 listed pickup locations in and around Victoria Falls. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Helicopter Flight 12/13 Minute (Zimbabwe) offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Helicopter Flight 12/13 Minute (Zimbabwe)?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Helicopter Flight 12/13 Minute (Zimbabwe) wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Helicopter Flight 12/13 Minute (Zimbabwe) if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
