The Zambezi River is the 4th longest river in Africa and forms part of the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. Around here it drops and forms the spectacular Victoria Falls, the largest waterfall in the world. At its widest single drop, the river plummets at its width of 1,708 meters with incredible power, forming the First Gorge. At other sections of the river before the falls, it is a mainly calm , shallow and slow-flowing river; just like the section in this photograph.
