Located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, Victoria Falls is one of the world’s largest waterfalls. It offers a sight nothing short of spectacular and can be admired from various viewpoints. The Knife-Edge Bridge is a viewpoint worth considering as it offers the opportunity to experience the thundering waterfall up close. If you visit between September and November when the water level is at its lowest, you can take a dip in the exhilarating Devil’s Pool – a natural infinity pool formed by a rock barrier at the edge of the falls.
