If you’re ever in Zimbabwe, don’t miss the chance to take a swim in The Devil’s Pool, a small lagoon, enclosed by rocks, on the edge of one of the biggest, most beautiful waterfalls in the world, Victoria Falls. Set on Livingstone Island, at a height of 103 meters, Devil’s Pool is definitely one of the most surreal locations on Earth.
I would love to see, hear, and mentally take in the magnificence of these beautiful falls!
I am old and smart enough to know that if I believe something to be too dangerous to do, or presents too much of a risk, I don’t do it.
So yes, I’d want to go in the water, but being 66 yrs. old and having arthritis, I would be afraid of stepping on a slippery rock, be unable to regain my balance, and going over, but could I blame a guide in the time I would have left? NO!
I did this a few years back with my husband it was quite a trill. Do it if you can/want too. Or you may regret it.
where is this place anyway? because i’m planning to go there with my friends after we finish our year 12
Wow if u slip what a drop. I must say it beautiful!
@eric – go back to school and learn to read and I quote ” If you’re ever in Zimbabwe, don’t miss the chance to take a swim in The Devil’s Pool, a small lagoon, enclosed by rocks, on the edge of one of the biggest, most beautiful waterfalls in the world, Victoria Falls.

how hard is it to miss the paragraph before the pictures.
FANTASIC-GIGANTC-ROMANTIC !
looks dangerous sitting/standing on the edge.what if the the water suddenly swells?
@Quin
Could Eric have meant what specific location is this as that he planned to go to Zimbabwe already.
Darwin Award candidates. This is just reckless and stupid. The Niagara Falls lip has shallow water too, but only a moron would go sit on the edge of certain death. And bringing in the kids, too. Wow. If you’re going to be stupid, leave the kids out of it.

According to Wikepedia – The Victoria Falls or Mosi-o-Tunya (the Smoke that Thunders) is a waterfall located in southern Africa on the Zambezi River and bordering the African nations of Zambia and Zimbabwe. A famous feature is a naturally formed pool known as the Devil’s Pool, near the edge of the falls, accessed via Livingstone Island in Zambia. When the river flow is at a safe level, usually during the months of September and December, people can swim as close as possible to the edge of the falls within the pool without continuing over the edge and falling into the gorge; this is possible due to a natural rock wall just below the water and at the very edge of the falls that stops their progress despite the current. At least one person dies each year at the Devil’s Pool.
My question? Who was the first crazy person to try this?

i love to swim here it would be amazing to see dwon and view will be awesome
Victoria Falls is superb. From ur photos we get some closer pics of the falls. Nice. 1708 meter wide and 103 meter long fall will be a treat for the eyes to every traveler. And it forms the largest sheet of falling water in the world. thanks for sharing photos with us.
amazing place – awesome, scary yet exciting!!
What is wrong with these people? Its bad enough leaning over the edge, but doing it with kids!!!
I bet these kids have no idea what are they doing there. It shouldn’t be so easy to take a child there, when the name of the country is Zimbabwe. Responsibility is responsibility everywhere
ive been looking for information for ages and i still cant find any good facts, like how deep it is and stuff like that!
Oh my god…It is so much scary…
