Wildlife
History
David Livingstone recorded the falls in 1855; the site marks a long-standing border region and is central to Tonga and Lozi cultural landscapes.
Conservation
Cross-border conservation initiatives seek to balance tourism with river health; water abstraction upstream and drought can reduce flow, so sustainable tourism practices and regulated visitor access help protect the gorge and wildlife.
