You arrive in the spray before you see the falls: a low cloud of mist rising from the gorge, intermittently pierced by rainbows that the wind drags across the footpath. The road from Kasane to Victoria Falls is short—about 70 km—yet the landscape shifts from dry savanna to a humid strip of rainforest clinging to the Zambezi’s edge. Your guide escorts you across the border, through park gates and onto paved viewpoints that put the full curtain of water in view.
