History
Victoria Falls has been inhabited by Tonga and Lozi peoples for centuries and was first seen by European explorer David Livingstone in 1855, which brought global attention to the site.
Conservation
The falls and surrounding parks straddle international borders and face pressure from tourism, water use and development; choose operators who include conservation fees and follow park rules to minimize impact.

Book morning departures
Early flights give softer light for photography and increase chances of spotting wildlife along the Zambezi floodplain.
Bring a fast camera and a strap
Windows and vibration challenge shots; a fast shutter and secure strap will help you capture sharp images.
Wear layers and a windbreaker
Temperatures can change quickly in the open chopper and near the spray — a light windproof layer keeps you comfortable.
Declare weight and health info early
Operators require weight and basic health details for balance and safety—provide them at booking to avoid last‑minute issues.
Mirrorless or DSLR camera
High shutter speed and good low‑light performance help capture the falls, gorges and wildlife from a moving aircraft.
Binoculars (compact)
A small pair extends viewing range for animals in the Zambezi floodplain and details on Livingstone Island.
Windproof jacket
Light protection against rotor wind and spray keeps you comfortable during the flight.
