You lift above a river that seems to boil as it drops—spray rising like a living wall beneath your skids—and the falls open into a ragged crescent of white. The helicopter banks gently and the Gorge reveals a braided Zambezi cutting away from the brink; later, the river offers a calmer face as the sun lowers and a dinner cruise pushes downstream.
