Devil’s Pool Livingstone Island
Swim near the edge of Victoria Falls
Livingstone Island sits in the Zambezi River at the top of Victoria Falls. Your experience begins with a boat ride to the island, followed by a guided walk, historical interpretation and spectacular views into the gorge.
When river conditions permit, trained guides lead guests to Devil’s Pool or Angel’s Pool for a carefully managed swimming experience. The exact pool used is determined by water levels and operational safety requirements.
Complete the visit with the meal attached to your selected package: a Morning Breezer, island lunch or afternoon High Tea.
