Arrive at Explorers Village as the Zambezi’s spray still hangs in the air and the distant roar of Victoria Falls threads through the scrub. Dome tents sit under fever trees and leadwood, a short walk from the falls and the bohemian bustle of Vic Falls town; by evening the river calms into a slow, reflective ribbon that dares you to follow its course.
