See Victoria Falls from the air — a curtain of the Zambezi dropping into spray, the gorge a dark slot beyond it. From the rainforest path you get one rim; from the helicopter you get the whole sheet.
Both flights look down on it. The 12-minute helicopter tour is built around this pass: the falls from both sides, then a short stretch of the upper river back to the helipad. The 25-minute game flight does the same, then continues toward the park.
You do not land at the lip and you do not walk the rainforest trail. This is a helicopter view, then back to the Kazungula helipad.
The extra minutes on the 25-minute flight are not more loops over the curtain — they buy Batoka downriver and Zambezi National Park. Stay on the 12-minute tour if the falls are the point.
