A chopper lifts off from the helipad and the ground falls away in a rush of wind and sound. From the cabin a curtain of spray and thunder becomes a ragged white ribbon, the Zambezi daring you to follow its plunge. The helicopter banks gently, giving every passenger a window view of the plunging lip, the thin white plume of mist and the serrated gorges stretching downstream.
