A Must Do On The Zambezi River – Devils Pool On Livingstone Island
On our Zambezi white water rafting trips, many guests ask us what activities are simply a “must do”. Before of after your rafting on the Zambezi river, a trip to Livingstone Island should be a priority. The place where Dr David Livingstone set eyes on Victoria Falls or Mosi Oa Tunya as they are known in the local Bemba dialect has long been a draw for travelers for it’s un-rivalled views of the falls. Many people including the owner of Water By Nature, Hamish got married on the island.
A great place for a drink. Thanks Tongabezi for the image.
In the low water season however (from approximately August – November) visitors can bring swimwear and swim on the edge of the falls guarded by a rock lip and your guides, in what is, the worlds MOST IMPRESSIVE infinity pool!
A swim in the "Devils Pool" is a MUST!
We recommend an afternoon excursion to Livingstone Island and all of our guests receive a complimentary transfer to and from The Royal Landing at The Royal Livingstone Hotel where the trip departs from. No matter whether you are flying in from the United States, the UK or Europe, this is one trip, not to be missed.

French Polynesia is far more than a scattering of beautiful islands set in impossibly blue water. Long before yachts, charts, and GPS, these islands sat at the very heart of one of humanity’s greatest stories of exploration. The great Polynesian expansion across the Pacific Ocean. When we sail through places like Tahiti, Moorea, Huahine, Raiatea, […]
Nepal is home to some of the greatest whitewater rafting rivers on the planet. Among them, two names stand out for very different — yet equally compelling — reasons: the Karnali River and the Tamur River. If you’re trying to decide between these two iconic Himalayan expeditions, you’re not alone. Both offer multi-day journeys through […]
