Overview

From a riverside lodge upstream of the Falls, spend two days enjoying Victoria Falls from the Zambian side.

When the river is low, roughly mid-August to mid-January depending on the water, a boat takes you to Livingstone Island to swim in Devil’s Pool, right on the lip of the Falls. At other times of year we swap in a longer tour of the Falls, including the Knife-Edge Bridge. Children under 12 cannot swim in the pool, and children under 10 cannot join the island trip. On land, rangers take you to see white rhino in Mosi-oa-Tunya.

Highlights

  • Guided tour of the Falls
  • Livingstone Island and Devil's Pool (mid-August to mid-January)
  • White rhino walk
  • Sunset cruise on the Zambezi
