Devil’s Pool
Many rock pools have formed near the great Victoria Falls after thousands of years of erosion - one of them... right on the edge! Devil's Pool is the ultimate infinity pool, with a sheer drop and an up-close-and-personal view of the sheer drop off the side of the falls!
It takes a rocky walk and a swim in the Zambezi to get to the pool, where you can plunge into the adrenaline-pumping swimming hole. Those who are brave enough to jump into the pool are pushed to the edge by the force of the river, with the rock lip bringing them to a halt as the Zambezi's raging waters crash over the cliffs a few feet away.
You can feel the force of the Zambezi River flowing past you and crashing down over the precipice; there is a 100-meter drop. The view from the edge is absolutely breathtaking. There are guides available at the falls' entrance to accompany you to the pool because it's not a good idea to mess with the over 500 million liters of water that cascade over the falls every minute.
On the edge of Victoria Falls, Devil's Pool is close to the well-known Livingstone Island. During their visit to Livingstone Island, visitors have the option to take a thrilling swim to the edge of the falls. The Devil's Pool typically remains open from the middle of August to the middle of January, depending on the Zambezi water level.
