You begin the day with spray on your face and the low roar of the Zambezi pushing toward a cliff — Victoria Falls announces itself before you see it. Morning light turns the waterfall to silver as a guide leads you along paved paths through the rainforest on the Zimbabwean side, each vantage revealing different curtains of water and sudden, framing panoramas of the gorge.

History
