Description

Your day begins with an early morning pickup from your hotel in Victoria Falls or Livingstone, followed by a boat transfer to Livingstone Island. Professional guides will supervise your swim at Devil’s Pool, perched at the edge of the Falls approximately 100 meters above the gorge.

When water levels are higher, you can swim in Angel’s Pool, a calmer alternative near the Falls edge, best for midday sessions.

After the swim, join a fully hosted guided walking tour. On the Zambian side in Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, view key viewpoints and learn about the Zambezi basalt rock formation, Tonga community history, and the cultural significance of “The Smoke That Thunders.”

Cross the historic Victoria Falls Bridge for gorge views, then explore the Zimbabwean rainforest section of Victoria Falls National Park, stopping at panoramic overlooks including Main Falls, Horseshoe Falls, and Rainbow Falls.

Optionally, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant along the Zambezi River before returning to your hotel, completing a full-day exploration of Victoria Falls.
