Places of interest
- Sioma Falls
marking the transition point of the Zambezi
Rivers' flow from Kalahari sand floodplain to basalt dyke - the
latter eventually contributing to the magnificent gorges of the
Victoria Falls
The horseshoe-shaped Ngonye Falls are impressive because of the
sheer volume of water that cascades over the staggered twenty
metre drop.
An interesting aspect is that the river flows underneath the
rock on either side of the falls. |
