You lift off from a helipad in the Zambezi National Park and the world rearranges itself beneath you: the Zambezi River narrows into ribboned channels, Batoka Gorge cleaves into dark basalt, and the spray from Victoria Falls throws a permanent veil that the helicopter slips through like a boat through mist.

History
Victoria Falls sits where the Zambezi cuts through basalt formed by ancient volcanic flows; the falls were named by David Livingstone in 1855 but are known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, 'The Smoke That Thunders.'
Conservation
The Zambezi corridor supports transboundary wildlife movements; choose operators that follow noise and flight path guidelines to minimize disturbance to animals and nesting birds.
