You step onto damp, leaf-littered trail and the gorge announces itself before you see it—the Zambezi’s voice dropping into a thunderous, spray-driven curtain. Mist claws at your jacket and rainbows arc through the vapor; your guide points, quietly, to a place where the river narrows and hurtles over basalt ledges.
