You can swim and lean over the side of the falls. It’s insane!

Safety Of The Devil’s Pool
Talking about the safety of the pool, yes, it is very much safe to swim. There’s a rock lip that protrudes upward that will keep you from falling over the edge. And for more security purposes, some instructors too will be by your side. And before getting to Devil’s Pool, you have to take a short swim in the Zambezi River that is right above Victoria Falls, from Livingston Island to Devil’s Pool. The swim through the Zambezi river takes about 50 to 100 meters from the edge of the falls. Usually, the water here is about stomach-deep, depending on the water levels. Swimming here in The Devil’s Pool is just one part of what is called ‘The Livingstone Island Tour’.
And for the gram, it is one of the most picturesque spots! If the water levels are particularly low, all the braves souls, you can also lean out over the edge of the Victoria Falls as a guide holds onto your feet.
