The experience

You're picked up from your hotel in Victoria Falls and driven to the border for a straightforward crossing into Zambia. Once through, your guide meets you and takes you into the park. The walk covers the history, geography and wildlife of the falls as you move through the landscape: the guide points out what shaped this UNESCO site and what lives here now.

Devil's Pool is a natural rock basin at the edge of the main waterfall where the water slows enough to wade in safely. You get time to swim and pose for photos with the falls as the backdrop. After you leave the pool, you sit down for lunch at a local restaurant, then head back across the border to your hotel.
