The boat moves gently up the river, it is best to take some water along since it can get warm.

The Falls are an awesome display of the power of nature.  The river is 50 meters above the falls, moves down through a 7 meter gorge and falls down 43 meters, the sound is deafening and the sight makes one realize how powerful nature can be.

Nearby is a bank filled with Nile crocodiles basking in the afternoon sun, just down from there you can see a group of hippos frolicking in the water of the Nile.
