Customer Reviews

I thought this was an incredible experience. While the micro flight would have been great with any pilot, this pilot (and so sorry I forgot his name) was awesome plus! He narrated the entire time and since I had done the safari by land and boat, I was able to see all the boundaries of the different countries. We got to go thru the steam of Victoria Falls and I was surprised to feel the warm water! He found elephants, a 16 foot crocodile, zebras and 5 rhinoceros! It was so exciting! I wanted to stay up there much longer. I already have 4 groups of people that want to plan a trip to Victoria Falls and want to know more about the micro flight !! I told them no question about it-they have to do it. I did buy the video and pictures (just got home yesterday so haven't downloaded it yet), but I was disappointed when I asked if the pilot's narration would be on it and was told, they just put it to music. So, I recommend the pilot's and clients conversation be on it. I really loved learning about the area and would have loved to hear this again. What a memory this experience was! I really never forget it and if I am lucky enough to be back, I ill do it again!!! - Donna McShane


The microflight was a breathtaking experience. First we saw the model of the Victoria Falls in the museum in Livingstone, then we "hiked" the falls, including a longer stay at the Boiling Pot. The crowning glory was flying over the falls, including several loops over a herd of elephants crossing from an island to the mainland. Great and unforgettable Experience. - Lilli Beckers


The microlight flight over Vic Falls was an amazing experience. The photos of the flight I purchased from the company are another story. I took the flight primarily to get some great photos of the Falls, but ALL the photos are of the Falls and scenery largely blocked out by the microlight. Why?!I need only a couple of photos of the microlight. The rest of the photos I want without the microlight and me. Please add an additional GoPro camera that DOES NOT photograph the microlight nor me. Just the Falls and lovely scenery please. - Thomas Montgomery


I liked the flight very much, and so did my wife, the only problem is that so far my wife, Magdalena Lic, has not received the video and photos for which we paid $45. You only sent me a video and photos of my flight twice. Please urgently fill in this gap. Regards, Jan Lic - Jan Marek Lic


Stunning experience for birds eye view of falls and area. Great pilot and a must for those who love to be airborne. - Andy Forbes

Customer Reviews

We were looking for a sunset cruise on the Zambezi during our trip to Victoria Falls. We came across the River Safari. It was different than the standard large, slow boats that you find. The boat could only hold around 12 people. We were the only two passengers on this particular trip. Mike and Michael were outstanding guides on this trip. Their knowledge of the river and the birds/animals was impeccable. They were happy to answer all our questions and stop in the places where we thought we saw things. As the sun started to set, they picked a perfect spot on an island to view the sunset, have drink or two, and eat great snacks. Because we were staying at a hotel on the river, at the end of the cruise, we were dropped at a dock in front of our hotel. Make no mistake, Zambia is open for tourism. This is a must do if you travel to the area. - Burnett LaChance


We had beautiful experience on the Zambezi River with River safari boat . Saw lots of Hippos Crocks monkeys different type of birds. Everything was so fine the food was great in the boat operator are the best. Thanks again sincerely. Yehuda and Chris - Yehuda Yacoby


This 2 hour flip back & forth across the Zambezi was the highlight of our visit to Vic Falls. From the moment, literally, that we stepped onto the boat we were looked after by our 'pilot' and his mate. The drinks were flowing and the snacks that we were offered on the small island were delicious. This experience is great value for money. We had a ball ! - Peter Mundell # 3509135


Was first activity in Zambia. Excellent and informative boat operators. Felt close to the water and therefore the animals. Great stop for snacks at sundown and all safety concerns abated. Excellent intro to Africa and highly recommended early on your trip! Graeme and Dini - Graeme Membrey


thrilling awesome adventure , i loved the moment we stop for some snacks by the island. this is a place to be also the guide wow he had lots of information - BELLA M
