Since David Livingstone named Victoria Falls after his Queen, thousands of people have come from all over the world to witness this spectacle, a mile long curtain of water that stretches across the glistening basalt rock, erupting into spray, and thundering into the canyon below. The walls of basalt rock that capture the mighty Zambezi form one of the great river corridors of the world. This is the domain of the Nyaminyami, the River God of the Tonga people and is now the highway for our rafts. The gorge is over 100 meters deep at the Falls and increases to over 200 meters deep by the end of a full day raft trip.
