The huge Zambezi River flowing slowly south with hippos and crocodiles clearly visible in the shallow waters, elephant quietly browsing on bright green islands as the water spreads across the full width of a great rent in the earth before crashing over the lip in a burst of spray and then squeezing into a narrow, foaming, blast of water rushing down the zig zag funnel of the gorges. An unrivalled view of the Victoria Falls and surrounding National Parks area“…scenes so lovely, must have been gazed upon by Angels in their Flight”.
