Devil's Pool is adjacent to the famous Livingstone Island situated on the edge of the Victoria Falls. Guests can choose to enjoy an exhilarating swim to the edge of the falls during their Livingstone Island visit. The Devil's Pool is usually open between mid-August and mid-January - depending on Zambezi water levels.
NOTE: DEVIL’S POOL AND ANGEL’S POOL ARE ONLY AVAILABLE WHEN THE ZAMBEZI IS LOW.
Safety is our first priority and therefore Tongabezi reserves the right to refuse swimming activities without prior notice to weak swimmers or if the water levels seem too high. Children must be 12 and above to swim. Unless you are visiting between mid-August and late December, be sure to check the river levels with our team in advance so as to avoid disappointment.
The Boat Ride to the Edge
Tongabezi offers five trips a day to Livingstone Island, following in the bold footsteps of Dr. David Livingstone who first famously reached the island via canoe. Today, we prefer to trust in the power of our twin-engine boats to get you across the fast currents and to the very edge of the waterfall. This is a thrilling journey, but trust that our guides have been maneuvering through these channels for years and know exactly what they are doing.
What to Bring
Sunscreen, swimming towel, hat, sunglasses, and your camera.
What to Wear
Swimwear, comfortable clothes, and walking shoes. From June to August we recommend guests bring warm clothes because it can be cold and windy.
