VIDEO Swimming on the edge of the Victoria Falls, Africa! CRAZY experience!!

in travel •  8 years ago 

One of the most insane experiences of my life! Walking along the top of the Victoria Falls and swimming through the mighty Zambezi River to get to Devils Pool right on the edge of the falls. Here your friend/partner/guide will hold onto your ankles so you can peek over the edge and see the 108m drop to the bottom. While it is neither the highest nor the widest waterfall in the world, Victoria Falls is classified as the largest, based on its combined width of 1,708 metres (5,604 ft) and height of 108 metres (354 ft), resulting in the world's largest sheet of falling water. It's roughly twice the height of North America's Niagara Falls and well over twice the width of its Horseshoe Falls. So walking along the top was a pretty crazy time! Take a look at the video we put together below:

Haha!! That's probably what my face looked like when I found out about it too :P

In this case, for me it is still a firm no.

Holy Hell!

Crazy right!

Wow I've never seen anything like that before, didn't even realise it was possible. You are braver than I am!

Yeah, when we got Victoria falls there are a crazy amount of activities you can do in/around the area. Only found out about the swim while walking down the street!
