The catwalk on the Victoria Falls Bridge feels fragile beneath your boots until you step to the rail and the gorge opens. The Zambezi hurries far below, its spray pushing against you like a dare; the bridge, an iron arc straddling two countries, frames an impossible drop. Standing at the lip, harness clipped, you listen to the river and the crew and then fall into space — a raw, weightless moment that defines the Shearwater Bridge Swing.
