Devil’s Pool, Victoria Falls, Zambia... Devil’s Pool lies on the edge of Victoria Falls – and if you accidentally went over the side, there would be a long 360-foot drop before you reached the rocky base of the falls. That doesn’t stop people from swimming there – or parents from bringing their young children to catch a glimpse of the view from the cool waters. Swimming is only possible from September to December, when the river is low enough not to sweep people right over the falls, but at least one person does die every year.
