Batoka Gorge

See Batoka Gorge from the air — the Zambezi cut into steep cliffs downriver of the falls, a slot of white water you cannot read from the lip. From the helicopter the walls stand on both sides; from the rainforest you see none of this cut.

Both flights take it. The 12-minute tour includes a stretch of the gorges after the falls. The 25-minute game flight stays with the river downriver through the cliffs, then toward the park.

You do not land in the gorge and you do not raft it. You see Batoka from the helicopter, then continue the circuit.

The extra minutes on the 25-minute flight are more of this downriver slot of cliffs, then Zambezi National Park. Stay on the 12-minute tour if the falls pass is enough.

Book the 25-minute tour and see Batoka Gorge from the air.
