Customer Reviews

The microlight flight over Victoria Falls was an unforgettable experience! Soaring above the majestic falls, with a bird's-eye view of one of the world's most breathtaking natural wonders, was absolutely awe-inspiring. The thrill of flying in the open air, combined with the stunning landscapes of the Zambezi River and the cascading falls, made the flight magical. The pilot was professional and made the experience feel safe and exhilarating at the same time. It's a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that I highly recommend to anyone visiting Victoria Falls! - Chayapol Thiamwan


Overall it was a good experience. Thoroughly enjoyed the adventure and flight. There was a minor blip in the confirmation of details and transfer of funds. The people at Batoka had mentioned they did not receive any money as of yet and wouldn't let me fly. I had to call someone to sort it out. This was all rectified on the day though... - Bryan Hendricks


What an amazing flight! We loved everything, from the pick up from our hotel to the care and attention to detail for the flight preparation. The flight was SPECTACULAR. It was our second time flying with this company and we will definetely be back. - DIMITRI GIANNAKIS


Great experience... very informative and professional pilots. Highly recommend to anyone coming to the falls - Colin Price-Smith


What an incredible experience! I was collected from the Zambia border and taken to the aerodrome. I was given a nice warm jacket to wear, escorted to the plane and great care was taken to ensure all safety precautions were followed. Up in the air the pilot spoke to me the whole time, encouraging me to be brave and let go (I was a bit nervous) and pointing out different aspects.of the landscape to me. We were the only thing in the sky, so we could fly a little lower and it was just so peaceful. I bought the photos and they were sent through promptly and there are some great shots. Thank you - Christine Leahy

Customer Reviews

Excellent experience. We loved the sunset river cruise. Our guides were knowledgeable to fantastic at spotting wildlife. We say lot of hippos, crocodiles, birds, monitor lizards, and even elephants. The food was delicious and plentiful. I would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys wildlife and being out in nature. The only I didn't like was that I was unaware that the national park fee had not been paid upon booking. It was not stating in my confirmation that that would be an extra expense upon arrival. Luckily I had read from some blogs that this might be the case for some excursions and the company was ablet to take a credit card. - Elizabeth Fletcher # WH4628082


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
