In Zimbabwe, Africa, you will find the magnificent Victoria Falls, at a height of 420 feet. The location is known as the “Devil’s Swimming Pool”. During the months of September and December, people can swim as close as possible to the edge of the falls without falling over. These falls are becoming well known amongst the “radical tourist” industry, when more and more people search for the ultimate experience.

The pool is a real phenomenon, a natural rock pool at the very top of Victoria Falls. The terrifying aspect of such an adventure is heightened for first time visitors because the pool does not appear to have any sort of barrier (natural or otherwise) to protect swimmers who jump into it from being swept over the edge of the falls.
