Livingstone Island - Devil's Pool/Angel's Pool

Devil's Pool sits right on top of Victoria Falls/Livingstone Island Zambia. 

Livingstone Island is where Dr. David Livingstone first saw the Victoria Falls. Explore the island and experience dramatic views of the falls before plunging into Devil's Pool, a natural rock pool on the edge of the Victoria Falls.

Your trip to Livingstone island starts on the banks of the Zambezi River in Livingstone, Zambia 1.3 km upstream of the of City. Here you will meet your guides and you will be given an introduction of what to expect and safety talk. From there, you will take a short boat ride to Livingstone Island. The captain will navigate the rocks channels as you cruise within a close distance of the Victoria Falls. This is a great experience in itself.

Once you reach the island, you will be greeted by the friendly staff, you are then lead to the very edge of the falls where David Livingstone first witnessed the falls himself. You get to experience magnificent views of the falls from a completely different perspective than the views from the rainforest. If it is a sunny day, the rainbows are incredible. 

Once you have viewed the falls, you have the opportunity to jump into the Devil's Pool. The guides will explain the route before giving you a safety briefing. Although there is a safety rope to assist you along the way, you should be a confident swimmer. Once you reach the ledge you climb onto a rocky outcrop close to the edge of the falls. 

Devil's Pool is a deep natural pool  that has been created by thousands of years of erosion. Devil's Pool has a natural rock ledge literally on the edge of the falls, this creates a barrier where the water is only a few centimeters deep. This barrier allows you to safely jump into the pool without getting swept over the edges of the falls. Once you are in the Devil's Pool, you can lie on the rock ledge and look out over the falls with the flowing water rushing past just meters away. This is an incredible experience and one you will be talking about forever. Once you have had your fun in devils pool, the guides will lead you back to Livingstone Island where you will be treated to either breakfast ,  lunch or high tea depending with the time of the day.
