When the water running off

of Victoria Falls is at a certain level, a small pool with almost no current forms which adventurous tourists have dubbed the Devil’s Swimming Pool.

Formed by a rock barrier at the edge of the falls, the water hole welcomes any daring swimmer the opportunity to wade right up to the edge of the falls themselves. However a small amount of deaths have occurred when people have been swept over the edge.

The pool is accessible during the hot dry season (usually between September and November, when the water level is at its lowest).
