Livingstone Island, Natural islet in Zambezi River, Livingstone District, Zambia
Located at the edge of Victoria Falls, this island provides direct views of the massive waterfall cascading down 108 meters into the gorge.
David Livingstone first observed Victoria Falls from this island in 1855, documenting the natural formation for European scientific records.
The island maintains spiritual value for local communities who conduct traditional ceremonies and rituals connected to the Zambezi River.
Access to the island requires guided boat tours from the mainland, with visits limited to specific times during lower water levels.
The Devil's Pool forms at the island's edge between September and December, creating a natural infinity pool above the waterfall.
