    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.

    Whilst this was our most expensive trip in Zambia, it was an amazing experience. The guides really look after you and give clear instructions and support to keep you safe. Really nice lunch too. For info, this trip is on the Zambian side, so you can organise your own transfer if needed for about $10 from Livingstone.

    An exhilarating experience with wonderful guides that keep you totally safe. Wear water shoes because you will walk on slippery rocks. The meal was excellent. I would give it maximum stars except you don't get to stay in the pool a long time because of the number of people waiting.

    Absolutely fantastic experience would love to do it again! The guides were superb I loved every minute of it & really exhilarating swimming across the river to get to the pool, then once there wow what a view! A second guide brings cameras in dry bag & will take the pictures for you then warming cuppa & food afterwards.
