Along this stretch of the river, there are reported to be around 4,000 hippos in addition to some enormous Nile crocodiles. The bird life is stunning with brightly coloured kingfishers and bee-eaters darting along the riverbanks.

You will be able to also view Bat Cliff Valley on way up to the top of the falls. The hike will take about 40-60 minutes and one have to be in relatively good shape and good health condition. The trail is too steep and slippery in some places, with rails to hold onto in some spots, but it offers astonishing views such as: Bakers Rock, Bakers View and Devil’s Cauldron of the fall on the hike up.
