6Zambezi River, Africa
The Zambezi River, Africa’s fourth-largest river, flows through six countries and is renowned for its stunning landscapes and powerful waterfalls. Perhaps the most famous feature of the Zambezi is Victoria Falls, one of the largest and most awe-inspiring waterfalls in the world. The falls, known locally as “The Smoke that Thunders,” create a dramatic spectacle as the river plunges over a cliff into the gorge below.
Beyond Victoria Falls, the Zambezi River offers a variety of beautiful scenes, from tranquil stretches lined with lush vegetation to wild rapids that challenge whitewater rafters. The river is also a haven for wildlife, with elephants, hippos, and crocodiles frequently spotted along its banks, adding to its untamed beauty.
