    Good overall experience

    Devil’s pool was a good experience, and the breakfast was great. The pick up was very confusing. I was told there was no pick up available from my hotel, so I had to walk to another hotel to be picked up. There was no time communicated for pick up, so I arrived one hour in advance to find the taxi driver waiting for me outside the pick up hotel. The taxi also charged me an additional $40 for a very short journey. If I had known there was an additional $40 for pick up and drop off, I would have arranged my own transport to the border.

    Not for the faint of heart

    Simply spectacular. Walk though the Zambezi close to the top of the falls and then swim to the edge of the main falls, get in the pool, and swim to the edge where guide (Fabian) holds your legs as you look over the edge. Water is clear, cool (not cold). Tips. If you have water shoes bring them, otherwise you can “rent” kroks. You wade through water to get there. I took boat back, very fun and saw submerged hippos. Meeting point is just over the border in Zambia, at the park entrance and coming from Zimbabwe, requires a taxi to the border, then a no man’s land taxi to the Zambia border. Park entrance is on the left a few hundred meters past the border exit.

    Check your accommodation is on the pick up list.

    Wow! What an amazing experience! My only comment would be that companies need to update their pick up points as new accommodation places become available- this created some confusion for us. The actual day was amazing!

    via Viator

    Dmitry_G · September 2026

    Pros:...

    Pros: • Amazing location and an awesome experience. Cons: • Lots of people. The whole thing works like a conveyor, with a lot of waiting. • Last second change of the transfer. Viator confirmed my hotel pickup in writing the day before the tour. Then at 7 pm that evening Tamuka Travel called me on WhatsApp and said they wouldn't come to Anantara and I should organize the transfer to Victoria Falls town myself. I had to arrange it through the hotel. • No answer from Tamuka Travel to my email/viator message at all. I was forced to contact the Viator support to confirm the itinerary. Overall, I'd totally recommend the experience despite these minor issues, but I would advise against buying the tour through Tamuka Travel. Try a different tour operator.

    Small Group Devil's Pool and Livingstone Island Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Victoria Falls.

    How much does Small Group Devil's Pool and Livingstone Island Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $230 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Victoria Falls usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Small Group Devil's Pool and Livingstone Island Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Victoria Falls is not rushed.

    Is Small Group Devil's Pool and Livingstone Island Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 142 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Victoria Falls, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Small Group Devil's Pool and Livingstone Island Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Small Group Devil's Pool and Livingstone Island Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Small Group Devil's Pool and Livingstone Island Tour?

    +

    Around 50 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Victoria Falls can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Victoria Falls and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Small Group Devil's Pool and Livingstone Island Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Victoria Falls within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Victoria Falls?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Victoria Falls experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guided Tour of the Falls (Zimbabwe side), Zambezi River Class IV-V White-Water Rafting from Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe & Zambia: Guided Tour of the Falls from Both Sides. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Victoria Falls?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Victoria Falls?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Small Group Devil's Pool and Livingstone Island Tour?

    +

    Included: Experienced, qualified guides; A cooked bush breakfast, lunch or high tea depending on your selected option; and Guided swimming in Devils Pool and a tour of Livingstone Island.
