Customer Reviews

Unsatisfactory. We were a group of 5 adults who booked this as part of a special trip for my daughters 50th birthday, knowing we would be able to fly together in a 6 passenger Eurocopter. We booked a 10am flight, but were not picked up until 10am from our hotel. Upon arrival at the aerodrome, we were advised that the Eurocopter was unavailable and our group would be split into a 3 and 2. as only one pilot was available, we then had to wait until the first group had their flight before the second group could fly. Although the ground staff were apologetic, there was no alternative available. The company knew well in advance that this would be the situation, but made no attempt to advise us beforehand, when alternatives, including cancelling and flying with another company, may have been possible. We even checked with the reservations agent at our hotel on the evening before the flight, but nothing was said. We contacted the company on our return to UK and despite apologising again, would not recognise the inconvenience, disappointment and extra time we experienced. They said we had received the experience in full and therefore no recompense was possible. Be very careful booking with this company as they will change timings, arrangements etc at little or no notice and your experience may be impacted as a result. - Ray


Excellent experience, fabulous views of the falls & surrounding area We were collected & returned to our hotel very smoothly. Definitely a recommended experience. - Isobel


It was an absolutely an amazing experience. It is the second time I've done this flip, but this time with 4 of my mates. They are all still talking about this amazing experience. Thank you so much 5 stars - Dennis


Excellent trip especially going down the gorge , would have been nice to have heard the pilot as myself and lady next to me headphones never worked never knew anything until we got off which was to late , a radio check would have sorted it before departure - Gary


Really enjoyed the helicopter ride. Felt very safe and going down into the gorge was amazing. Plus the pilot showed us where the elephants, zebras, etc. were. Would highly recommend the medium helicopter ride upon your arrival in Livingstone for a good overview of the falls. - Jill
