Devil’s Pool & Livingstone Island Experience

Victoria Falls

Activity Description

Experience one of the most extraordinary natural infinity pools in the world Devil’s Pool at Victoria Falls.

Located on the edge of the mighty Victoria Falls on the Zambian side, Devil’s Pool allows adventurous guests to swim right at the lip of the falls during the dry season when water levels are safe.

The experience begins with a boat transfer to Livingstone Island, the historic landing site of David Livingstone in 1855. Upon arrival, guests are welcomed by experienced guides who provide a full safety briefing before escorting small groups to Devil’s Pool.

With professional guides assisting at all times, guests can carefully enter the natural rock pool and peer over the edge of Victoria Falls into the gorge below — a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience.

After the swim, guests return to Livingstone Island for a hosted meal depending on the session booked:

Breakfast

High Tea
