Livingstone Island Tour and Devil Swim

Brief description

This activity operates on the Zambian side of the Victoria Falls and is very seasonal (for obvious safety reasons) according to the water levels of the Zambezi River, which fluctuate dramatically from year to year.

The activity is broken into two sections. The Livingstone Island tour (which includes a meal or high tea) and a swim in one of the pools.

Livingstone island: Tour normally opens in June and closes late March.

Angel’s Pool: Opens mid to late July, and then again in January till March, this is also on the edge and a similar experience as the Devils Pool.

Devils Pool: Opens in August and closes late December/early January. Please check with us which pools are open on your dates of travel.

A five-minute boat ride speeds you through the current of the Zambezi River to the island, this in itself is an exhilarating experience as you head towards the rising column of spray from the Victoria Falls.

The guides then take you on a tour of this small island, which has unique and magnificent views of the falls. If it’s a sunny day, the rainbows are just incredible. You then have an opportunity to swim in the Devils Pool or Angel’s Pool (Approximately 10mins) if you wish, this is not compulsory.
Lunch and High Tea – more time on the island and in the pools compared to morning breezers.
