Livingstone Island

What it's actually like.

Livingstone Island sits at the edge of the falls on the Zambian side, and is the access point for Devil's Pool — a natural rock pool right at the lip of the falls where a rock barrier lets swimmers get close to the edge in relative safety, under close guide supervision.

Access is strictly seasonal: it depends on the Zambezi's water level, and the pool is closed entirely when the river is too high or too low for safe access — we'll always confirm current availability before booking.

The experience is sold in three formats — a breakfast, a lunch, or a high tea sitting on the island, each combining the boat transfer, the guided walk/swim to the pool, and the meal itself.

Formats

Breakfast ($135), Lunch ($200) or High Tea ($185, excl. transfers, min 2 pax).

Access

Seasonal — only possible when the Zambezi's water level allows safe access to the pool.

Includes

Boat transfer to Livingstone Island, guided access to Devil's Pool, and the meal.

Good to know

This is on the Zambian side of the river — a border crossing from Victoria Falls town is required.
