Devil's Pool & Livingstone Island

Cross the Zambezi by boat to Livingstone Island, then wade and swim to Devil’s Pool, a natural pool where a rock ledge lets you lean out over the lip of the falls. Guides stay beside you throughout and take photographs. This is a seasonal experience on the Zambian side, usually possible from about mid-August to mid-January when river levels drop, with a gentler alternative pool used when levels are slightly higher. Breakfast or high tea on the island is often included, and visitors from Zimbabwe or Botswana need the correct Zambian entry arrangements.
