Waving from the Devil's Pool

On the Zambian side, you can walk out to Livingstone Island. This takes 45 minutes, or more, primarily wading in water that is ankle to knee deep. Approaching this spot, you do need to swim around 30 metres through a strong current, but there are emergency ropes. Ultimately, you end up in the pool, right on the lip of the falls, with the most incredible thunder. You sit in the calm little eddies, while just metres away, the water races past and pours in to the gorge below.
