Zambezi River Raft, Zambia, 1996

"'Tourists overboard!' One of the ferocious Class V rapids below Victoria Falls flips a raft; passengers are assured beforehand that hippos and crocodiles usually steer clear of fast water. A proposed dam would drown 15 miles [24 kilometers] of rapids."

—From "Down the Zambezi," October 1997, National Geographic magazine
