What can you see in the Helicopter Flight over Victoria Falls?

You would definitely be curious to know what you would be able to see in the helicopter flight over Victoria Falls. Let us tell you.

 

1) Zambezi river

Looking upstream, you can see the vast, Zambezi River meandering down its path. This surely is going to be one of the most breath-taking views that you would ever experience in your entire life. The Zambezi River is Africa’s fourth-longest river, longest east-flowing river, and the biggest river flowing into the Indian Ocean. Many of the river’s calmer areas are home to hippos, Nile crocodiles, and monitor lizards. Birds such as herons, pelicans, egrets, and African fish eagles can be found in huge numbers. Many huge species, such as buffalo, zebra, giraffe, and elephant, can be found in the riverine woods. Zambezi river forms the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe for roughly 500 kilometers. So, you can enjoy a great deal of this river as the helicopter flight progresses. Of course, the views of the Victoria Falls and the gorges are also parts of this river that deserve a separate explanation.

2) Victoria Falls

This is undoubtedly the best view that you can have on your helicopter flight. At this point, you can get some amazing panoramic shots you always wanted. Trust us, you will feel like a dream come true when you get to this point. Here, the water then plummets over a knife-edge as though a line is drawn. The Zambezi River is about one kilometer wide here but is rapidly reduced to a width of no about 50 meters within a deep canyon. This gives you picturesque scenery to view from your flight.

3) Gorges

What is more amazing is that you can see the zigzag of the gorges as you gaze downstream. The Batoka Gorge is the most splendid out of all. As the water has worn the weaker sandstone between the fault lines between the Basalt and carved its way upstream throughout the millennia, each one symbolizes a separate Victoria Falls from thousands of years ago. Anyway, this is a tremendous view when you see this from the above.

4) Zambezi National Park

This park is located 50 kilometers upstream from Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, along the Zambezi River. The park is home to lions, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, and a variety of antelope species including eland, kudu, waterbuck, impala, and Zimbabwe’s national animal, the sable. The Pel’s fishing owl, African skimmer, collared palm thrush, lanner falcon, goliath heron, kori bustard, African fin-foot, rock pratincole, and long-toed Lapwing are among the 400 species of birds who live in this park.
