Tour Details
The Devils Pool itself is a deep natural pool that has been created by thousands of years of erosion, but what is unique about it is that there is a rock ledge on the lip of the Falls, where the water is only a few centimeters deep. Access to this unique Island is seasonal and depends entirely on the water level in the Zambezi River. In low water season, approximately end of August to December, guests have the opportunity to swim in Devil's Pool.
What Makes This Tour Special
Swimming in Devil's Pool provides a unique opportunity to be literally on the edge of one of the largest waterfalls in the world. The experience is enhanced by knowledgeable guides who provide insights into the area's geology and ecology.
- Access to Devil's Pool during low water season, allowing for a safe swimming experience at the falls.
- Expert guides who offer informative commentary about the falls and surrounding environment.
- The chance to experience the Zambezi River from a completely different perspective, above the falls.
