After the microlight we headed to the falls on foot. From Zambia you can only see a small portion of the falls and at the moment most of what you see is spray!! Although we were pre-warned it still is astounding to stand in what amounts to a torrential downpour on a beautiful cloudless day. The spray falls like rain, not coming horizontally as you might think, and it is heavier by far than most thunderstorms you encounter. You can see the edge of the rain and move in a couple of steps from nearly dry to absolutely soaking wet. To fully explore you are forced to go over a small bridge which is positioned such that you will be absolutely soaked!! (see photo) We did catch beautiful glimpses of the falls occasionally and there are rainbows in every direction due to the amount of water in the air.
