  • On the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia sits a spectacular waterfall, the Victoria Falls. At the top of this waterfall is a playground for daredevils, aptly named the Devil’s Pool. Only a few brave souls are willing to swim in the Devil’s Pool. To access this waterfall swimming hole, you’ll need to take a boat trip, cross the Zambezi River and keep watch for crocodiles and hippos. Once you get to the Devil’s Pool, it’s a long way down if you go over the edge. Would you take the plunge?

    As a Zambian ,I’ll let you know that 90percent of people who swim there are tourists the other percent is 5 for the guide and 5 for the crazy one’s 😂😂😂 the rest of as just go see the falls and take pictures and stay at the very far end from the edge .but it’s really a beautiful place and there is so much more to do and see Zambia is a beautiful and friendly country 🥰❤️❤️

    Swam across waist high water to get to the pool. 60 second swimming. Ropes are in the water if you prefer to use them. No hippos, no leeches, no crocs. This video hyped up the fear way too much.
    There was a 70 years old Indian couple in front of us who completed it all.

Only chance you'll see an animal on the road is at Vic falls and that's a monkey or baboon. The only simple rule is don't bother them and they won't bother rule. Do better research please.

    Also for those who are interested, The Devils Pool is accessible only from Zambia so you really do need to book a Ranger to escort you to Livingstone Island.
