The spray hits first: a cool, fine mist that cloaks the rainforest trail and sharpens every green tone. You begin on compacted paths that thread through the rain-fed forest, the Zambezi’s roar growing from distant rumble to commanding thunder as you approach the Knife-Edge Bridge and the Main Falls on the Zimbabwe side.
