Amazing experience! You take a speedboat to the island in the middle of the Victoria Falls. Walk to a tent, walk by hippo trails and than the guides walk you to the edge of the fall, bath in Angels p…Full review by Nikolett L

If you're staying on Zim side then tours tend to start early to allow for getting across the border and formalities done. We left our hotel around 8am and after playing in the pools were served breakfast on LI. We still then had more than half a day to enjoy other attractions in Zambia. If staying on Zambia side then there's not really a best time of day. Hope this helps!

I went on the Livingston Island tour last July. I believe it was the end of July. Angels Pool was open and groups were going into it. Devils pool is closed waters too high . The tour was good and we got very close to the edge of the falls. Take extra clothes you will get wet and it is chilly afterwards while you are eating lunch.
Q:
Is there a lot of hilly walking to get from hotel to Devil Pool?
A:
Not at all! You can actually only walk to Livingstone Island at very specific times of the year, and only with official Tongabezi guides, because it's right in the middle of the waterfall. It's …

Not at all! You can actually only walk to Livingstone Island at very specific times of the year, and only with official Tongabezi guides, because it's right in the middle of the waterfall. It's far more likely that you would be driven from Tongabezi Lodge to the Royal Livingstone Hotel where a boat would pick you up and take you to Livingstone Island. If you are there at the right time of year you could then swim in the Devil's Pool. I hope this helps.

Hi! My husband and I went to Angel's Pool in early July of 2016. I wouldn't know the exact temperature... but I had no issues :) though I was excited and wasn't going to let it stop me haha, I recall my husband grimacing and taking his time getting in so it was at least somewhat cold, but he's a bit sensitive to cold water in my opinion. The tour guides loan you these great, huge, warm panchos though so I encourage you to not let cold water stop you if possible, that was the coolest part of the trip for us!! But also, be warned that it may not be accessible at that time. It depends on the water levels, they don't allow folks to go to Angel's Pool if the water level is still too high for safety. We were told we might not be able to visit it in early July, but it ended up working out for us. You can email the tour operator as the date approaches for updates.
