The Falls are stunning and are truly a once in a lifetime experience. The noise from the Falls can be heard from a distance as far as 40km! Around the Falls there is an abundance of unique and beautiful flora creating a gorgeous mini rainforest that can be explored with the magnificent Falls as a backdrop. The Big Tree is also something to look out for – a beautiful giant baobab tree that towers above us at 20m tall.
