Overview
A microlight is a small, open-cockpit aircraft that seats just you and your pilot. You feel the air, you hear the Falls, and you see the Zambezi spread out in every direction. Many travellers say it’s the best view they had in Africa.
Flights leave from the Zambian side near Livingstone. The longer 25-minute flight continues over Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, where elephants, giraffe and even white rhino may be spotted. For safety, cameras aren’t allowed on board, but a wing-mounted camera captures your flight.
- Open cockpit, just you and the pilot
- Low, slow circuits over the Falls
- 25-minute flight adds game viewing from the air
- Wing-mounted camera photos available

Frequently asked questions
Can I take my own camera?
No. Loose items aren’t allowed in an open cockpit. A wing-mounted camera captures photos you can buy afterwards.
Do I need a visa for Zambia?
Most visitors do. A KAZA UniVisa (when available) covers Zimbabwe and Zambia. We’ll advise based on your passport.
Can two people fly together?
Each microlight carries one passenger. Several can fly at the same time in separate aircraft.
