Victoria Falls: The Devil's Pool is closed!

The famous Devil's Pool, a rock pool right on the very edge of the mighty Victoria Falls on Livingstone Island (Livingstone side of the Falls in Zambia) has closed with immediate effect due to the high water levels.

Devils pool was definitely my favorite thing to do while visiting Victoria Falls. Livingstone Island is a 5 minutes boat ride from the Royal Livingstone Hotel where we were staying and is located in the middle of the Zambezi River. Devil's Pool is right on the edge of the Victoria Falls just before the water drops off a 337 foot drop. You can only experience devils swimming pool September-December because it's so dry and the water level is way down. We swam out to the edge while holding on to rocks because the current was so strong. Definitely one of the most scariest things I've done. #devilspool #livingstoneisland #justinandbrittadventures

Livingstone (Zambia): Livingstone Island reopened for visits

Now that it is low water season at the Victoria Falls, the water level of the Zambezi river dropped to a certain point so that the famous Livingstone Island on the Zambian side of the river has today been reopened for visits. Livingstone Island is a 5-8 min boat ride from the Royal Livingstone Hotel and is located in the middle of the Zambezi River, touching the lip of the Victoria Falls. Adjacent to Livingstone Island is the famous Devil's Pool, a natural rock pool right on the edge of the Victoria Falls. During low water season, Devil's Pool is shallow enough that people can safely swim right to the edge before the waterfall drops more than 100m. Kudos WildWeb100 for the video footage.
