In 1989 UNESCO declared these falls a
Humanity Heritage Site, covering a
protected area of 8,780 hectares.
o This is called “The Devil's Pool”, a natural
swimming pool formed in the rocks just above
the 108 metre high Victoria Falls!!!
From September to December, due to low water levels,
it is safe to swim on the edge of this waterfall.
