Due to the close proximity of Maramba Aerodrome to the Victoria Falls, our aircraft are within half-a-minute reach of the Zambezi river. The surrounding National Parks ensure a host of exciting game sightings, and shortly after take off you can be enjoying breathtaking views as you circle over the magnificent Victoria Falls. Our flights can be combined with many of the other adventure activities in Livingstone, offering good value for money. « less

There is no better way to see the falls. It is a little pricey but especially during high water it is a must ride. The transportation is provided with your package. The pick up arrived on time. The staff was helpful and courteous but seemed a little unorganized. The process of payment and release signatures seemed haphazard if you come... More

I was really excited about my microlight flight as I had heard a lot about this from other travellers. I must say that apart from the flight itself, every other aspect of this experience was really disappointing. I was picked up late and although I know sometimes "Africa" is pretty relaxed, I was surprised that my pick up was over... More

I went with friends to the Batoka Sky for our flight experience over the Victoria Falls. I have to say that the microlight flight was great and the pilot very good, however the service of the rest of the staff was disappointing. We had booked for the morning flight that was cancelled due to strong winds, so we decided to... More

We took the 2 minute ride from the Zambezi Waterfront hotel to the Batoka Sky aerodrome on 2 different occasions. Our first day we took the helicopter tour over Victoria Falls which was great and you could talk to each other in copter via headsets. Also good for shooting pix and video since you can take your cameras. Then we... More

I did the 30 minute helicopter ride and loved every minute of the trip. Great view of the falls, loved the flight through the Gorge, and it was cool seeing the park / animals from above. Pilot was good, knew a lot. I sat in the front seat and had no issues getting some great pictures. More

just a couple of minutes from our lodge,Batoka Sky microlight flight is an experience you should never miss. The crew were absolute professionals. The 15 minute experience was totally breathtaking. The view over the falls is something I will never forget. The great thing is that after the flight we could get our photos that were taken from the ultra'... More

The company was very professional from beginning till the end. The Microlight Pilot was skilful (it was really windy that day) and took me to all the beautiful sights. The price was worth it! More
