Write a User ReviewA good vantage point for experiencing the mighty Zambezi
Mosi-oa-Tunya stretches from Victoria Falls in a northwest arc along 20 kilometres of the Zambezi riverbank. For me there are two special vantage points for seeing the Falls from the Zambian side. The Knife Edge Bridge overlooks the main falls, Eastern Cataract and Boiling Pot where the river turns and heads down the gorge; you may spot people white-water rafting in the rapids below. During the dry/low water season, a shallow rock pool, known as the Devil’s Pool, appears just off Livingstone Island so close to the top of the Falls its close enough to peek over the torrent of water as it gushes over. You can drive around the whole park in a couple of hours and the animals are relaxed and easy to spot. But I prefer a gentle sunset cruise on the Zambezi, when elephant, giraffe, zebra, buffalo, and numerous antelope make a timely appearance for a sun-downer drink themselves.
