There is a permanent rainbow over the battlefield and causes a continuous roar. Take boat cruise to the bottom of the falls to see a variety of water loving birds and mammals like crocodiles, Hippos, monitor lizards alongside others animals that are found lingering at the shores before or after drinking water.
