As it is at the end of the dry season the river isn't at anything like full flow - probably at it's lowest in fact. We have a walk around the Falls, but with the river reaching the gorge away from the entry, we don't get too close. We can however hear the 'smoke that thunders'. The spray is rising a hundred feet or so above the falls, but at full flow this can be 1500 feet up! Birds are in short supply: African Pied Wagtail, and several Red-winged Starlings. As we turn to return to the entrance a loud call alerts me and a Trumpeter Hornbill flies off.1 This cliff is ALL waterfall in spate! 2 Poor shot of Trumpeter Hornbill</blockquote>
