Dust rises in a slow ribbon as the safari jeep threads red earth and scrub toward a stand of ancient baobabs. In two hours the landscape shifts from roadside scrub to panoramic cliff-edge views of the Zambezi gorge and the ironwork span of the Victoria Falls Bridge, then to a quiet baobab grove where trunks are broad as houses and the air tastes faintly of citrus from baobab pulp.

Best light and wildlife

Expect rough roads

Vulture feeding caution
The feeding site can be intense—bring a scarf or mask if sensitive to odors and keep a respectful distance as instructed by your guide.
