to watch the Zambezi waters glide smoothly through rocks and little islands towards the
lip of the falls.
For close-up views of the
Eastern Cataract
, nothing beats the hair-raising (and hair-
wetting) walk across the footbridge, through swirling clouds of mist, to a sheer buttress
called the
Knife Edge
. If the water is low, or the wind is favourable, you'll be treated to a
magnificent view of the falls as well as the yawning abyss below. Otherwise, your vision
(and your clothes) will be drenched by spray. Then you can walk down a steep track to the
banks of the great Zambezi to see the huge whirlpool called the
Boiling Pot
. Watch out
for cheeky baboons.
The park is open again in the evenings during (and just before and after) a full moon in
order to see the amazing lunar rainbow. The tickets cost an extra ZMW51 - hours of oper-
ation vary, so inquire through your accommodation.
