When to go to Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe)?
You hear Mosi-oa-Tunya before you see it: the Zambezi folding over a basalt lip and throwing up spray that soaks the footpaths on the far side. The bridge below carries a bungee jump for anyone wanting the drop twice over, and in the dry season Devil's Pool lets swimmers sit at the very rim. Sunset cruises take the calm water upstream.
