Swimming with the Devil
By: Dena Braun
In September and December adventurers in Zimbabwe can swim near the edge of the highest waterfall in the world, Victoria Falls, one of the seven natural wonders of the world.  These massive falls tower 128 meters but intrepid soles can take their swim in what locals call The Devil’s swimming pool.  

While it might seem daunting to get so close to the edge of such a powerful waterfall, the activity isn’t as scary as it might seem.  During the low water flow months there is a natural rock lodge that reduces the current and stops swimmers from falling over the edge.

Guides are available at the falls and for a nominal fee will guide you to the correct spot.
