In the famous Victoria Falls in the Zambezi River, on the border of Zamia and Zimbabwe, there is a pool created by the nature that people have named the "Devil's Pool."

This natural pool as beautiful as it is dangerous because it is located in the high waterfall 128 meters, where you can easily die!

Here's a video so you can familiarize yourself with Victoria Falls, Zambia & Zimbabwe in 4K Ultra HD !!!

During the drier months of the year, the Zambezi River drops quite substantially, and from mid August to mid January, it is possible to walk along the lip of the falls. This can only be done from the Zambian side.

It takes a rocky walk and swim in the Zambezi to reach the pool – then the fearless ones leap into the pool and get pushed to the edge by the force of the river. The rock lip brings them to a halt as the raging waters of the Zambezi crash over the cliffs a few feet away. There are guides in attendance who are there to make sure you don’t go over the edge.

For the rest of the year, anyone foolish enough to enter the waters would be instantly swept to their deaths. But when levels drop, the natural rock walls of the Devil’s Pool come close enough to the surface to form a barrier and stop swimmers being carried away.

The view from the edge is totally exhilarating as you feel the force of the Zambezi flowing past you and crashing down over the precipice; a hundred meter drop.

Over 500 million litres of water a minute cascade over the almost 2km wide falls, causing a deafening and spectacular explosion of spray which can be seen 30 miles away. This is why it is known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, or The Smoke that Thunders.

You can find guides who will take you on the Zambian side, at the entrance to the Falls. All you need is your costume and your camera

Here's a video of Victora Falls in 360 degrees view made by "National Geographic" which is published in youtube

To get to it you have to walk a few miles away, then swim in the river, but only the brave ones can allow themselves to let the water drag you into the edge of the waterfall.

From mid-August to mid-January, this pool is visited by hundreds of tourists, who are accompanied by the Savior's devotees in Zambia.

In Africa it is also known as the "River of Life" or "The Source of Life" by Native people of Africa because it is the source of life of many living creatures but those who visited the place called it "The devil's pool" and explained their journey as the best adventure they ever had .

I found a video about this so you can see it yourself....!

Zambezi - The Source of Life

The Zambezi is Africa’s fourth largest River system, after the Nile, Zaire and Niger Rivers. It runs through six countries on it’s journey from central Africa to the Indian Ocean. Its unique value is that it is less developed than others in terms of human settlement and many areas along it’s banks enjoy protected status.
It’s power has carved the spectacular Victoria Falls and the zigzagging Batoka Gorge.

The Zambezi has been harnessed at various points along the way including the massive Kariba Dam between Zambia and Zimbabwe and Cabora Bassa Dam in Mozambique. Plans for another dam at the Batoka gorge have fortunately been shelved.

The River’s beauty has attracted tourists from all over the world providing opportunities for a myriad of water sports and game viewing.

Running for a length of 2700kms, it begins it’s journey as an insignificant little spring in the corner of north-west Zambia in the Mwinilunga District. It bubbles up between the roots of a tree, very close to the border where Zambia, Angola and Zaire meet.

It enters Angola for about 230kms, where it accumulates the bulk of its headwater drainage, and re-enters Zambia again at Cholwezi rapids flowing due south but substantially enlarged by the entry of various tributaries.

This upper part of the river is thinly populated by pastoralists, farmers and fishermen and although wildlife is sparse it is remarkably free of pollution. This is also the scene of the remarkable Ku-omboka Ceremony where thousands of inhabitants move annually to higher ground as the Zambezi floods into the low lying plains.

Basic Zambezi River Facts

• The river is an amazing 2,200 miles (3,540 kilometers) long.
• The Zambezi is the longest east flowing river in Africa.
• Its source is in the wetlands of the Mwinilunga District of north-western Zambia, near the border where Zambia, Angola and the Congo meet.
• The Zambezi flows through six countries. From its source in Zambia the river flows through Angola, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe (along its border with Zambia), and then across Mozambique to the Indian Ocean.
• There are several waterfalls on the Zambezi including the amazing Victoria Falls, which is one of Africa’s most popular sightseeing spots. Other waterfalls on the Zambezi include Ngonye Falls in Western Zambia and Chavuma Falls on the border of Angola and Zambia.
• The river is frequently interrupted by rapids and therefore has never been a means of long-distance travel.
• One of the most unfortunate Zambezi River Facts is that water pollution is a major problem. None of the major cities have adequate water treatment plants. A tremendous amount of raw sewage is released into the river.
• There are some major cities along the river, however in most areas the population is sparse.
• Along the river numerous animals can be found. Along the shore Crocodiles and hippopotamus are abundant. Large animals such as elephants, lions, zebras, giraffes, and buffalo can be found near the river in many areas.

• Compared to the other major rivers in Africa the Zambezi has been little explored.
• The annual flood of the Zambezi River brings about one of the best known ceremonies in Zambia called Kuomboka. Kuomboka translated means "to move out of the water". This ceremony attracts thousands of tourists every year.
• A huge source of hydroelectric power on the Zambezi is the Kariba Dam. At 420 feet (128 meters) high and 1,900 feet (579 meters) long it is one of the largest dams in the world. Its construction was completed in 1977. Eighty six men lost their lives building it.
• Bull sharks (also called Zambezi Sharks) which normally live in costal waters have been known to swim very far up the Zambezi River.
