1. Devil's Pool
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1,620 reviews
Devil's Pool is adjacent to the famous Livingstone Island situated on the edge of the Victoria Falls. Guests can choose to enjoy an exhilarating swim to the edge of the falls during their Livingstone Island visit. The Devil's Pool is usually open between mid-August and mid-January - depending on Zambezi water levels. Livingstone Island tours are accessible through Tongabezi Lodge.

"Life on the Edge" it definitely is. Every adventurous adult should have this experience on their list of "must do's". First swim a section of the fast flowing Zambezi and then across the swirling Devils pool itself and look over the edge of Victoria Falls itself to where the mighty Zambezi thunders right past you into the chasm below if you dare. Safety swimmer is there to advise and assist (and hang onto your feet as you venture ever closer to the edge of Victoria falls and peer over) but the adventurous spirit to attempt it is all down to you. You must be 17 or over. I am an average swimmer in my mid-60's and felt well supervised enough to attempt it. Lets be honest - it would be bad for their business to "lose" anyone so you are in very good hands. Only available in low water - usually mid august until the rains start (October I think). I was so lucky to have gone in late July this year to find it open early due to last years poor rainfall and therefore low water levels. There is no other experience like this in the world.

It definitively is the 7th natural Wonder of the World... the rainbows that you see through the waterfalls are giving the magic touch to this already spectacular place... the place to see in your life before you die :)

My fiancé and I ended up in Lusaka with a few days to be tourists. We found 37D on trip advisor and figured we would spend 30 minutes there. 2 hours into our visit, we were already planning our next trip back! To start with, the staff here are all welcoming and friendly. The various forms of artwork are all presented with the title, artist, and price in US dollars. It is in a modern building with indoor and outdoor spaces. There is even a section with children’s artwork and all of the proceeds go directly to the children and the program that works to provide children with art classes, which in turn helps children to pay school fees. Next to the art gallery is a gem gallery. We had the pleasure of talking with the owner who showed us the largest mined tourmaline and explained to us how jewelry is made from the wide selection of Zambian-mined gems. Then we found ourselves in the cafe, where we each had a coffee and a treat (banana bread and a chocolate cookie). Here we were able to casually look through the gift store and chose a lovely pair of earrings. It was hard to chose just one gift item as everything is so lovely and supports Zambian businesses that employ local people. We will definitely be back on this same short visit because they even have yoga a few days a week for k100 which takes place in a gorgeous outdoor area.

We have been self-driving and camping around Zambia and had a very enjoyable three night stay at Mvuu Lodge exploring both the lower Zambezi and the Chiawa Game Reserve that’s on their doorstep. With our teenage son, we paddled canoes on the Zambezi, took a boat ride which got us extraordinarily close to elephants drinking and playing in the river, and had a couple of game drives with their enthusiastic young guide Akim. Hosts Brett and Lynne are hearty, larger than life characters who go the extra mile to make sure you have a truly memorable experience. We camped but also ate good food at their river deck restaurant. The fact I don’t eat meat was no problem. This was one of the best of many different experiences on our trip, which varied from community campsite to exclusive safari experiences at a few hundred dollars a day. Can thoroughly recommend!

Went there with my mum who was visiting for a long weekend. Spent great time doing a little safari and enjoying the company of the cheetahs.

Our visit to kalimba was very lovely, the outside space is beautiful and very covid secure. The crocodiles were fascinating and I learned a lot about the different snakes. The cafe sells snacks and we bought crocodile meat and kudu home for the freezer to braai later.
