You may be wondering what’s so special about a river and yes, it’s a fair point we suppose. But not when it comes to the Zambezi, because this is Africa’s “River of Life”.
Flowing through a total of six countries, Africa’s fourth longest river is quite literally a source of life for the communities that reside along its meandering banks, and is of course home to its more famed counterpart, the mighty Victoria Falls. The world’s biggest waterfall may be the biggest draw here, but you can guarantee that holidaymakers will snap away at the Zambezi too – the river’s choppy, croc infested waters, flanked by the craggy gorge that makes the natural border between Zimbabwe and Zambia, definitely call out to be photographed in their own right.
And it’s here, at the dramatic plunge of the falls, that the Zambezi truly comes into its own. Tumbling rapids crashing with an almighty force demonstrate the power of its waters and make for a whole host of opportunities for water-related fun. If you’re into watersports, the Zambezi welcomes you into its tempestuous arms.
