Flightseeing options

Whether you soar above the vast plains of the Masai Mara or enjoy a bird’s-eye view of the spectacle that is Victoria Falls, you’ll be able to appreciate these natural wonders from a unique vantage point.

Spectacular Victoria Falls Helicopter Flight

To capture the awe-inspiring beauty of Victoria Falls in all its glory, a helicopter ride offers an unrivalled vantage point. At ground level, you can feel the enormous power of the falls as the volumes of water pound into the chasm below. But it is only when you see them from the air that you can take in the whole panorama and enormity of this mighty spectacle. Known as the ‘flight of angels,’ a helicopter flight over Victoria Falls truly is a heavenly experience, allowing you to witness the thundering water below and the natural wildlife in the surrounding bush. You can seamlessly add this experience to your itinerary, enhancing your once-in-a-lifetime journey.

Take in the stunning panorama of the vast Masai Mara, famous for its black-maned lion and the annual Great Wildebeest Migration. Your hot air balloon will silently soar over the Masai Mara ecosystem and the snaking Mara River, with its vast rolling acacia and shrub-studded grassland, rivers, forests, hills and escarpments. Immerse yourself in the splendour of the magnificent scenery, which stretches as far the eye can see, with a constant pageant of wildlife, all unfolding before you during this awe-inspiring flight. For guests visiting the Serengeti National Park, the opportunity to experience the panorama at dawn is also available.
