The rotors cut the humid river air and, for a breathless minute, the world becomes a smear of green, bronze and falling water. From the helicopter you see the 1,700‑metre curtain of Victoria Falls—Mosi oa Tunya—throw spray high enough to create persistent rainbows that chase the aircraft as it banks over islands and the gouged Batoka Gorge.
