The body of an unidentified tourist was spotted floating in the Zambezi River near Victoria Falls on Wednesday morning.

Authorities believe the individual may have fallen from the Zambian side of the waterfall. While official details remain limited, sources indicate that Zambia's Department of National Parks and Wildlife has engaged Zimbabwean river and tour operators to assist with the recovery operation.

Reports suggest that two hotels—one in Zimbabwe and another in Zambia—have each reported a missing guest, though the identity and nationality of the deceased have not yet been confirmed.

The incident highlights the dangers posed by the fast-flowing waters of the Zambezi, a major tourist attraction that draws visitors from around the world. Investigations into the circumstances of the death are ongoing, and authorities say further details will be released in due course.
