Microlight Flight Over the Victoria Falls

A two-seater microlight takes off from near Livingstone for an open-air look at Victoria Falls from directly overhead. The short option lasts fifteen minutes, tracing the falls and the Zambezi River below with nothing but a windshield between passenger and air. The longer, thirty-minute route continues upstream past Long Island, Palm Island, Kakunka and Kandahar Islands before crossing into Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, giving a wider view of the park's terrain and wildlife from altitude. No enclosed cabin, no glass — just engine noise, wind, and the gorge cut by the Zambezi opening out beneath you.
