Many thanks to William for setting up this adventure for us! Tours and visits to Devil's Pool/Livingstone Island are managed by Zambian park authorities, but you'll need a guide to book it for you, arrange transport, and assist with border crossing (if you're coming from Zimbabwe). Once you arrive, you'll take a speedboat to Livingstone Island where you will then swim across the current to a rocky outcrop at the edge of the falls. Devil's Pool is just below these rocks and each group will take turns swimming across the pool to the edge. A guide will hold your ankles as you look out over the falls. The current is swift and the water is cold, so you'll need to be a reasonably strong swimmer and follow instructions closely! The guides will take your photo with your phone or camera as you peer over the edge. After swimming back to shore you'll be met with drinks and a small meal before taking the speedboat back to the mainland.
