Devil's Pool


 
Here you will find the largest waterfall in the world... Victoria Falls.   It is part of the Zambezi River that borders the countries of Zambia and Zimbabwe in Africa.   Its said to be 354 feet high and 5604 feet at the base.  Yes,  the falls deserves it's own strangespot page,  but for now I wanted to share "Devil's Pool" or "The Armchair".  I say, why not go for a swim?   The Arm Chair is at the very edge of the falls on Livingstone Island on the Zambian side.  One must only swim when the river flow is at a safe level (between Sept and Dec).  A rock barrier forms an eddie during these months with low current, allowing brave swimmers a chance to enjoy the thrill with relative safety inches from the cascading falls.  Occasional death have been reports due to people slipping :(.
