Here you will marvel at the sight of the river Nile exploding violently as it compresses from 50 meters, squeezing through a narrow cleft of 6 meters and then plunging with a thunderous roar into a frothing pool 43 meters below creating a beautiful rainbow and a plume of spray. End the day with an evening drive.
