The microlight has amazing views all around with a real sensation of flying! Ultimately it’s a stark contrast to a helicopter which has a cockpit and windows. The microlight flight is sure to be an incredible highlight while in Livingstone Zambia.

You will be picked up from your hotel in Livingstone to go to the Maramba Aerodrome where your microlight flight awaits. Note that if you are on the Zimbabwe side a transfer service can be arranged for an additional US$20 paid direct to the transfer service. You will need a multiple entry visa for Zimbabwe and a single entry visa for Zambia.
Once at the airfield you will be given safety instructions which include a briefing on the ground and showing you around the aircraft. Intercom headsets are provided allowing you to communicate with the instructor for the duration of the flight.
As it is a microlight the instructor will make a final check of conditions before embarking on the journey. Once you are strapped in it won’t be long before you are hurtling down the runway to take off! In the air you will be shown sites and animals in the area by your licensed pilot. It won’t be long before you see the “smoke that thunders” which is guaranteed to be a breathtaking view. You will circle around the falls before embarking back to the aerodrome.
Once the flight is finished you will have the opportunity to purchase photos or videos before being taken back to your hotel.
