Many tourists have come to Victoria Falls – Mosi-oa-Tinya, to have the scenic view of the majestic natural phenomenon. In order to add icing to the cake, some have had the rare chance to view the falls from above through a helicopter view. A number of helicopter companies ply their trade in Victoria Falls to provide an opportunity for those people who would like to view the falls from above.

Indeed, they call it a Flight of the Angels due to the rare scenic views that the tourist is able to experience on the voyage. Short as the flight may be, but the memories remain etched in the mind for a lifetime.

It is worthwhile to try the flight either solo or in the company of your loved ones. The Editor-in-Chief had a chance to experience the Flight of the Angels on a family vacation in Victoria Falls in early 2022. An account from the Editorial Desk is presented below.

‘MJ Air’ is one of the leading service providers of the Flight of the Angels in Victoria Falls at a very good price. Their hospitality was second to none. We received a brief orientation and pre-flight briefing. In addition, weigh-in of passengers was a fun-filled experience.

The flight sets off on a helipad and the ascents are energetic as the view of the falls gets into the proximity. Water rising in a white cloud that looks like white smoke, could be one of the majestic views that any human being can have in a lifetime.

Flying above the green vegetation leading up to the falls brings serenity, tranquillity as well as spiritual comfort. The pilot in command was very hospitable and accommodating to us, giving us key information when we needed it. Both long range and short range views were possible including some opportunities to take scenic photos.

After going up and down with the MJ Air helicopter, we descended back towards the helipad where it all started. The disembarking process was very hustle-free and there were a few opportunities for taking photos.

The ground crew provided assistance all the way through. A key element of MJ Air services, is the fact that they pick you from the hotel accommodation; in a great sign of hospitality.

The Flight of the Angels over Victoria Falls is worth undertaking in one’s lifetime, to view one of the greatest treasures that have been given to humankind by the Creator. The next time you stop at Victoria Falls, it will be worthwhile to take a feel of the Flight of the Angels.
