The Devil's Font at Victoria Falls

Victoria Falls, or "Thundering Smoke" is located in South Africa, on the Zambezi River, between the countries of Zambia and Zimbabwe. One of the most popular features of the waterfall among tourists is the Devil's Font – a natural reservoir that is located at the very edge of the waterfall, which can be reached via Livingston Island in Zambia. When the water level in the river reaches a certain level in the period from September to December, the rocky barrier forms a "pool", which is very much loved by thrill seekers. Unfortunately, this pool is still the culprit of several deaths.
