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

  3. 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.

  4. 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".

  5. 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".
