On the Zambezi River along the Zimbabwe-Zambia border, this immense curtain of water plunges into a narrow gorge, sending up a mist the locals call the smoke that thunders.
The Zimbabwe side offers sweeping front-on views along the rim trail. Visit after the rains for full flow, or in low water to glimpse the rock face.
