NEW HELIPAD FOR VICTORIA FALL’S ZAMBEZI HELICOPTER COMPANY

The skies above Victoria Falls just got a new, world-class gateway to one of the planet’s most spectacular sights. The Zambezi Helicopter Company (ZHC), renowned for its legendary “Flight of Angels,” has officially unveiled its brand-new, purpose-built helipad, marking a significant milestone for tourism infrastructure in the region.

After months of intensive vision, planning, and dedicated hard work, the new facility is now ready for take-off, solidifying ZHC’s commitment to providing a seamless, world-class experience from the moment guests arrive. This isn’t just a simple change of location; it is a profound statement on safety, comfort, and operational excellence.

“It’s official – our brand new helipad is ready for take-off!” the company commented on social media. “This isn’t just a new take-off point. It’s a testament to our commitment to safety, comfort, and delivering world-class aerial adventures. Every stone laid, every beam raised – all with one goal in mind: giving you seamless, unforgettable access to one of the world’s most spectacular sights.”

The new helipad replaces the company’s previous base near the Elephant Hills Hotel and is part of a broader, multi-million-dollar investment in the Victoria Falls aviation sector, demonstrating strong confidence in the growth of Zimbabwe’s tourism industry.

With the new facility, the company boasts that “The beauty starts before you even reach the sky.” Guests are now welcomed into a space thoughtfully designed for comfort and style, a terminal that mirrors the five-star experience awaiting them in the air. The new facility offers enhanced features including seamless guest drop-off for stress-free logistics, greater accessibility, and a breathtaking new take-off point for all scenic flights.

To celebrate the opening, staff from local lodges, Pioneers Lodge and Batonka Guest Lodge, were among the first to experience the new take-off point and the exhilarating “Flight of Angels.” Lodge representatives praised the new facility and the flight experience, with one staff member noting that “Seeing the Falls from the air is truly a wonderful experience and one you should add to your bucket list.”

Zambezi Helicopter Company’s flights, which include the 13-minute “Flight of Angels” and the longer “Zambezi Spectacular” over the Batoka Gorge and Zambezi National Park, offer an unobstructed, panoramic view of Mosi-oa-Tunya—The Smoke that Thunders. Guests fly in Bell helicopters equipped with signature bubble windows, ensuring every angle is a picture-perfect moment.

As the thundering of the blades signals the start of a new adventure, ZHC invites local and international visitors to “Come fly with us – from the sky, Victoria Falls has never looked better.” Visitors can also purchase a personalised video package to relive their sky-high moments long after they land. The company is excited to open this new chapter and continue to provide the ultimate aerial perspective on one of the world’s seven natural wonders.
