Full description
Relax as you are taken by minibus across the border into Zambia to the Royal Livingstone Hotel for a detailed safety briefing before a 5-minute boat ride to Livingstone Island. Your guide will navigate through the Zambezi River current heading towards the column of spray rising from the Falls. Once you get to rocky Livingstone Island, the staff will welcome you with a traditional African energy drink. Your guide will take you first to the eastern side of the island to view Rainbow Falls and the Horseshoe.  Discover the island’s western side to see the Main Falls, where you’ll enjoy the magnificent torrent of water cascading over the basalt edge of the falls.  This unique view of Victoria Falls offers a perspective completely different from that of the Zimbabwean side of the canyon. As the morning sun hits the mist rising from the falls, expect to see stunning rainbows. Have the chance to swim in the Devil's Pool, a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Your guide will lead as you swim upstream in a slow current. Sit at the edge of the falls and Devil's Pool, gazing at Victoria Falls, as immense water torrents flow just feet away.  When you return to Livingstone Island, fill up on a traditional bush breakfast before your journey back to your hotel.

amazing experience, you'll never forget the view of the Falls from above. be aware that if you're staying on the Zimbabwe side you have to cross through two border crossings and you will change drivers. also make sure you have a multi-entry visa for Zimbabwe or you will have to buy a new one and it's a significant delay.

Brighton and Tamuka travel did a great job assisting us getting from Victoria Falls Town to Zambia for the devil's pool and also arranged a microlight whilst we were there. Probably the best 2 experiences we had whilst at the falls, would definitely recommend. The only reason I haven't given 5 star is the communication could definitely be improved.

The actual trip to Devil's Pool was excellent. I highly recommend doing this, though you must know how to swim and be confident in your ability. You'll be swimming against the current to get to the pools! It's not very difficult but looks intimidating. What made the trip a bit more complicated for us is that there was a mix up on the day we were supposed to do this. I didn't realize there are many people that you can sign up to do this through, but only one provider for actually going to the Pool. I was never quite clear why (we paid in advance but payment wasn't sent to the provider was one of the reasons we were given), but we couldn't go on the day we were scheduled to go, but it worked out to go on a day that worked better for us in the end. Just BE SURE to confirm the day before that everything is in order and you will be picked up on time.
