A boat transfer puts you on a tiny island right at the lip of Victoria Falls for a plated breakfast, lunch or high tea — the most exclusive way to experience the Falls from the Zambian side, with guided access to Devil’s Pool when the season allows.
Overview
Livingstone Island sits right on the edge of Victoria Falls, on the Zambian side, and is one of the few places you can stand at the exact point where the Zambezi River tips over the lip of the Falls. A short boat transfer takes you out to the island, where a table is set for a plated meal — breakfast, lunch or high tea — with the roar and spray of the Falls as the backdrop.
In the low-water months (roughly late August to early January), the same trip includes guided access to Devil’s Pool, a natural rock pool right at the edge of the Falls where you can safely swim to the lip and look straight down — one of the most talked-about experiences in Southern Africa.
What To Expect
A short boat ride from the Zambian riverbank across to Livingstone Island, guided by an experienced local boatman who knows the river’s currents well.
When water levels allow, a guide walks you to Devil’s Pool for a safe, supervised swim right at the edge of the Falls — optional, and only offered when conditions are safe.
A table set on the island for your chosen meal, prepared and served on-site with the sound of the Falls just meters away.
