Livingstone Island

Visit Livingstone Island on the precipice of the Victoria Falls to experience the true wonder of the waterfall. Take a dip in Devil’s Pool or Angel’s Pool if you dare!

 

This awe-inspiring island is perched on the edge of a cavernous gorge, eye to eye with the roaring cloud of mist, “Mosi-Oa-Tunya” (The Smoke That Thunders). Its neighbour is the raging wave of the Zambezi that plunges down the black basalt rock. 

 

Guarded by tall teak trees that hum with birdlife, it is often visited by pods of grazing hippo and herds of elephant. It has seen the sky when it is brewing with angry storm clouds, and when it is such a brilliant blue that the colour seems to seep into the river below. Every morning the island greets the sun as it rises over the rainforest, and bids it farewell when it sinks below the horizon, leaving a golden glow in its wake.
