It may look insane, but the guy at the picture is
not a Photoshoped silhouette placed over a fake
landscape. He'sswimming at the Devils Pool, a
natural rock pool at the very top ofthe Victoria
Falls, at Zimbabwe, with a height of about 100
metres.

TheVictoria Falls is a waterfall situated in
southern Africa between thecountries of Zambia
and Zimbabwe. From September to December, due
tolow water levels, it is possible to swim at the
edge of the falls in anaturally formed safe pool,
accessed via Livingstone Island.

• From Virgin Media Life on the edge swim ... a
  small jump (what felt like the leap ofdeath)
  lands you in a small rock pool at the edge of the
  Falls. As youstand this close to such raw,
  natural beauty, you can barely hearyourself
  screaming above the sound of the water rushing
  down whileadrenalin pumps through your body
  turning it into a shaking, excitablemess. You
  realise why the not-eating-before-swimming rule
  has alwaysstuck".

From Wikitravel You will have the opportunity to
stand in shallow water, 2 inches(literally) from
where the water gushes over the edge of the
falls, and swim in Devil's Pool, a reasonable
current-free pool a couple of feet from the top
of the falls, close enough to lean over the edge.
This makes fantastic photo opportunities with a
permanent rainbow from the mist of the falls
behind you".

Many of you may think it is a trick. Well,
another Flickr user took pictures from the other

maniacs into context" - he says)
