The vulture feeding experience offers a rare opportunity to witness endangered white-backed, hooded and lappet-faced vultures gathering in remarkable numbers, a sight becoming increasingly uncommon across Zimbabwe. This conservation initiative also occasionally attracts majestic marabou storks to join the feast. You can observe this daily event free of charge, although donations are warmly encouraged to support the vital preservation of these magnificent birds. The experience begins with an informative briefing from an expert guide on the viewing deck, followed by the distribution of meat and bones collected from local hotels to the feeding area. The feeding typically occurs around 1pm, with the sudden arrival of dozens of vultures creating a dramatic and educational display of nature's clean-up crew in action. This unique program not only provides incredible photo opportunities but plays a crucial role in protecting Zimbabwe's vulnerable vulture populations.

For brave souls seeking the world’s most exhilarating swim, Devil’s Pool delivers an unforgettable adrenaline rush. This natural rock pool, sculpted by millennia of erosion, sits precisely on the precipice of Victoria Falls, where the Zambezi’s waters cascade 100 metres into the gorge below. Accessible only during the dry season (typically mid-August to mid-January), the experience begins with a boat ride to Livingstone Island — the very spot where explorer David Livingstone first laid eyes on the falls in 1855. The adventure continues as visitors wade and swim through gentle currents, guided by experts to the pool’s edge. Here, a submerged rock lip creates a natural barrier, allowing swimmers to peer safely over the thunderous drop while the river’s force swirls around them. In the driest months (October-November), some may walk across exposed rocks to reach the pool, though a guide remains mandatory. While the sight of bathers lounging at the waterfall’s brink makes for iconic photos, the reality is even more breathtaking. As over 500 million litres of water plunge past each minute, the pool’s deceptive calm contrasts with the roaring abyss just beyond your fingertips. Five daily tours depart for this once-in-a-lifetime experience, though nature dictates the schedule — high waters from March to May render the pool inaccessible. For those who dare, Devil’s Pool offers not just a swim, but a visceral connection to the raw power of Africa’s greatest waterfall.

Gudmundstjärn, located 30 km west of Sundsvall, is one of Sweden's last preserved self-sufficient settlements. Between 1779 and 1944 the fields here were farmed by five generations. No roads connected the homestead to the outside world. The 22 preserved buildings have been declared historical monuments, and the area is now a nature reserve.
