More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the minivan and the air changes — cool, mineral-rich mist carries the constant low roar of falling water. Rainforest trails thread between mossy trunks; your guide points the way to a lookout where the falls spill over a jagged basalt lip and the Batoka Gorge yawns below. Across the bridge, the spray thickens until your clothes are damp and the world smells of wet stone and river.
