Devil's Pool is one of the most iconic and adrenaline-filled experiences at Victoria Falls. It offers travelers the chance to swim in a calm section of the Zambezi River before cautiously making their way to the pool located at the very lip of the falls. Here, you can lean over and peer down into the gorge, while the force of the river flows just feet away from you. This extraordinary experience is guided by experienced professionals to ensure safety, and it’s only possible when water levels are low enough (typically from late August to early January). Participants will be ferried by boat to Livingstone Island, where the adventure begins. Once in the water, you'll wade through shallow currents until reaching the famed pool. The experience offers unparalleled photo opportunities and an unmatched adrenaline rush, making it one of the most unforgettable activities at Victoria Falls.
