Just as beautiful as the zimbabwe side!! Go early morning for no crowds and double rainbows. The mist was actually not that bad like a light spray at this time on the day that i went. So actually managed without a poncho except for one section. I only did knife edge bridge, rainforest walk and upstream and took my time taking lots of pictures - 2 hours altogether
