Livingstone Island and Victoria Falls Edge Experience

The Livingstone Island Tour is an exclusive excursion that takes you to the very lip of Victoria Falls, situated on the Zambian side of the Zambezi River. This highly sought-after experience allows you to stand where Dr. David Livingstone first glimpsed the "Smoke That Thunders" in 1855, follow a guided history trek, and swim in the world-famous natural rock pools directly on the precipice.

Because the island sits directly on the edge of the 103-meter vertical drop, access is seasonal and strictly dependent on seasonal water levels.
