Expedition Notes

The Wonders of Mosi-oa-Tunya

Reflections, geographical marvels, and memories from our African helicopter excursion.

"Scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight."

David Livingstone (1855)

When Scottish explorer David Livingstone first viewed the falls from Kalai Island, he coined the immortal description that inspired the Zambezi Helicopter Company's famous Flight of Angels.

The Eight Batoka Gorges

Over 2 million years, the Zambezi River has cut through eight successive zig-zag basalt chasms. Banking steeply in the helicopter reveals the sheer volcanic cliff walls dropping 100+ meters down to churning class V whitewater rapids.
