Many locals feel that the microlight flight over the Falls is the best aerial experience, as you are exposed to the elements and can “feel” the Falls.

As one tourist remarked, “It’s you and God and the pilot in a lawn mower with wings 1?500m above the ground”.

Be aware that you are not allowed to take a camera up in a microlight as dropping it could be hazardous to the plane as well as people on the ground. You can get your picture taken during the flight by remote camera, and the images are available for purchase afterwards.

Microlight flights are highly weather-dependant, so check on times and departure points.

Flights are available from both Zimbabwe and Zambia.
