More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You climb into a raised safari jeep as dusk bleeds into night, the Zambezi's last light folding behind the gorge. Headlights stay low; your guide's torch becomes the instrument of discovery. The town's silhouette, the old railway line and the bridge over the gorge slide past, then the vehicle swings off the road into scrub and baobab-shadowed clearings where the bush breathes differently after dark.
