Devil's Pool is a naturally formed swimming pool that is situated on the edge of Victoria Falls, a famous waterfall on the Zambezi River, between Zambia and Zimbabwe. The pool is created by a rock barrier, which keeps swimmers from being carried over the edge of the waterfall.

During the dry season, the water flow at Victoria Falls is reduced, and a natural barrier of rocks forms a calm pool near the edge of the falls. This is the Devil's Pool, and it allows swimmers to swim right up to the edge of the waterfall. Visitors can swim in the pool and peer over the edge, enjoying an unparalleled view of the falls and the gorge below.

Swimming in the Devil's Pool is a popular activity for adventurous travelers visiting Victoria Falls. It is typically accessed from Livingstone Island in Zambia, which is only accessible during the dry season. To reach the pool, visitors take a short boat ride and then swim upstream in the river to the pool. Swimmers are guided by experienced staff who ensure their safety and take photographs.

It's important to note that swimming in the Devil's Pool can be dangerous, and it is only recommended for strong swimmers who are comfortable in fast-moving water. Visitors should also be aware of the risks associated with being near a waterfall and take all necessary precautions.

Devils Pool Victoria Falls

Victoria Falls is a breathtaking waterfall located on the Zambezi River, on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe in southern Africa. The falls are considered one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and are one of the largest waterfalls in the world, measuring 1,708 meters wide and up to 108 meters tall.

The Victoria Falls were first named by Scottish explorer and missionary David Livingstone in 1855. The local name for the falls is "Mosi-oa-Tunya" which means "The Smoke That Thunders". The falls are so large that the mist created by the falling water can be seen from up to 50 km away, giving the illusion of smoke.

Visitors to Victoria Falls can enjoy a variety of activities, including whitewater rafting, kayaking, and canoeing on the Zambezi River, scenic helicopter rides over the falls, and wildlife viewing in the nearby national parks. There are also several viewing platforms and walkways along the falls that provide stunning views of the falls and the surrounding landscape.

Victoria Falls is a popular tourist destination and attracts millions of visitors each year. The falls are considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site and are protected as part of the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park in Zambia and the Victoria Falls National Park in Zimbabwe.
