Rather than throw ourselves off the bungie bridge to get a good view of the falls, we took to the air in microlights. Squiffy was cool-as-a-cucumber before the flight and I was somewhat cacking myself (as is customary for me prior to undertaking an unnatural activity). Hilariously, once in the air, I relaxed into the flight an even had a go on the controls — meanwhile Squiffy was terrified that she was going to fall out and daren’t move a muscle!

As you’ll see from the photos, the views of the falls from a thousand feet were spectacular. From 300 feet, we also saw elephants crossing the river. We both thoroughly enjoyed the experience and I’d have another flight in a heartbeat, whilst Squiffy is perfectly happy to have done it once, thank-you-very-much.

(At the end of our gallery, I’ve included some aerial shots of the falls previously taken by our pilot.)
