The Zambezi drops 108 m over a 1.7 km wide edge, the 'Smoke that Thunders', a UNESCO site. The Zimbabwe side has 16 viewpoints along the rainforest path facing the falls.


The spray is heaviest from March to May. Activities include bungee from the bridge and rafting. A KAZA visa covers both Zimbabwe and Zambia.
