Devil’s Pool is a natural rock infinity pool that forms during the dry season (August to December) right on the very edge of Victoria Falls, known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya (Lozi) or Shungu Namutitima (Tonga), meaning “The Smoke That Thunders.” Accessible only through Livingstone Island on the Zambian side, this unique adventure requires a licensed guided tour, including a short boat ride, a scenic walk, and a heart-pounding swim just feet from the roaring falls.
Devil’s Pool is safe when visited with professional guides who know the currents and lead small groups during the low-water season. Tour packages from Livingstone, Zambia often include a guided experience, meals, and incredible photo opportunities from the edge of one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. More than just a thrill, swimming in Devil’s Pool is a sacred encounter — a moment to connect with the spirit of Africa.
