You rise above the spray like a hawk pushed by warm Zambezi air. From the helicopter the falls read as a jagged seam where river meets rock — a roar below becomes a breath in your ears. The chopper tilts, nose-dives over the Batoka Gorge, and the river unspools in ribboned rapids that dare you to follow.
