Cradled by the mighty Zambezi and perched at the very brink of Victoria Falls, Livingstone Island offers an experience unlike any other on Earth.
This is Mosi-oa-Tunya — The Smoke That Thunders — and here, you can stand, swim, and dine on the edge of one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Accessible only by boat and open seasonally, you’re invited to explore Victoria Falls in an immersive and memorable way.
Whether you're braving Devil’s Pool, exploring on a walking safari, or savouring a gourmet meal with uninterrupted views, every visit is a once-in-a-lifetime moment — suspended between earth and sky.
Just 10 minutes by boat, Livingstone Island offers guided Victoria Falls tours, seasonal swimming in Devil's Pool, Angel's Pool or Rock Pool, and gourmet dining beside the Falls.
Guests can choose from five daily experiences, including a sunrise Breezer, island lunch and High Tea, each accompanied by locally inspired dishes and spectacular views of Mosi-oa-Tunya.
For a more exclusive experience, Atulye - Livingstone's Table offers private dining for up to six guests. This intimate setting is ideal for proposals, honeymoons, anniversaries, birthdays and other special celebrations. Advance booking is recommended.
Standard Livingstone Island visits are limited to 24 guests per session, Atulye is limited to 6 guests.
Highlights
Open mid-August to late December (subject to water levels)
Available when Devil’s Pool is closed but water levels are still safe.
Offered during low-water season (typically mid-September to December), crossing to the island by foot from the Zambian side.
Friendly, knowledgeable, and safety-focused every step of the way. We felt looked after from start to finish.
