It’s length is a kilometer long and sits at a height of more than one hundred meters making it the largest waterfall in the world.

Tracking Rhino's
by Foot

Rhino’s are sadly hunted for their horns but many of the Rhino’s in Matobo National Park have now had their horns removed to prevent poaching, leading to death. The horns are made of keratin and said to have an aphrodisiac quality.
