Overview
Livingstone Island sits right on the lip of Victoria Falls on the Zambian side. It’s where David Livingstone first looked over the edge in 1855. You reach it by boat across the top of the Falls, then walk to viewpoints where the water plunges away beneath you.
When water levels allow, usually from around mid-year to January, guests can swim with a guide in Devil’s Pool, a natural rock pool on the very edge of the drop. At other times, Angel’s Pool or the island viewpoints take its place. Breakfast is served on the island afterwards.

Frequently asked questions
Is Devil's Pool safe?
Swims are closely guided and only run when water levels make it safe. Follow your guide’s instructions at all times.
What's the difference between Green and High season?
The rate changes with the season. Green Season runs from about 6 January until the high water closes the island, plus 1–15 December. High Season covers 1–5 January, 1 July–30 November and 16–31 December, depending on river levels.
When is the island closed?
At peak flood, usually around March to May, the island can close for safety. We’ll check your dates.
