The road to heaven is a river. It arises in the sticky black swamps of far northern Zambia, turns west towards Angola, swerves back into the country of its birth, snakes along Namibia’s Caprivi Strip and gathers speed as it loops towards its most famous port of call, the World Heritage-listed Victoria Falls (Mosi-oa-Tunya – “the smoke that thunders”).
The mighty Zambezi thunders over the cliffs to form the world’s largest sheet of falling water.
