📘 What to Expect

The day starts with hotel pickup and a short drive to the microlight airfield, where a professional instructor conducts a safety briefing and explains the route. You’ll be fitted with a helmet and harness and step into the two-seater microlight.

Once airborne, you’ll soar over Victoria Falls, the Zambezi River, and nearby islands. The instructor pilots the microlight while you take in the scenery, snap photos, and spot features such as Devil’s Pool, Batoka Gorge, and the river’s channels. The 30-minute flight option allows more time over Batoka Gorge and the surrounding parkland, including potential wildlife sightings.

After landing, there’s time to review photos and enjoy the view from the airfield. Transfers return you to your hotel. The experience combines accessible aerial views with the sense of being up close to one of the world’s natural wonders.
