You'll start in the Lower Zambezi, where the river flows gently through the wilderness, drawing animals from miles around to drink at the banks. Head up the Zambezi to its most famous stretch, the tremendous Victoria Falls. The mist can be seen from miles around, and up close, the thundering water is one of the most impressive natural displays on earth. Leave one awe-inspiring river for another. The Okavango River doesn't flow to the ocean. Instead, it flows into the desert, creating an inland river delta that contains some of the best wildlife spotting in Africa.
