More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step from the transfer van into a wall of spray — the Falls announce themselves with a low, persistent roar. The rainforest path hugs wet rock; droplets bead on your jacket and rainbows arc through the mist. On one side the Zimbabwean viewpoints frame the curtain of water, on the other the Zambian lip opens onto Livingstone Island where the water dares you to the Devil’s Pool.

This itinerary crosses an international land border; carry the passport used to book and verify visa requirements before travel.
Time the water level
Devil’s Pool is typically accessible in the dry season when flows drop—check seasonal availability and book mornings for calmer conditions.

Spray and rapids mean waterproof cases or dry bags are essential for phones and cameras.

Trails and rock ledges are slippery; closed-toe, grippy water shoes improve footing entering and exiting the pool.

Required for border crossings and ID checks during the tour.
Waterproof phone/camera case
Protects electronics from spray and boat wakes for better photos.
Sturdy water shoes
Provides grip on wet rock and comfort for walking in and out of shallow water.
Quick-dry clothing and towel
Speeds comfort after the pool dip and keeps you warm once spray soaks layers.
