ANGEL’S POOL

Similar to Devil’s Pool, Angel’s Pool was slowly eroded into existence, over thousands of years, due to the sheer amount of water passing over the Falls every minute.

Situated a little further back at 15 metres / 49 feet from the sheer 100m / 328ft drop, Angel’s Pool is a must-see. It offers visitors a more confidence, comfort and safety than Devil’s Pool while still experiencing the epic view and thunderous roars of the Falls.

Open during the start of the rainy season when water levels are rising to fill the cavity, Angel’s Pool is the alternative when the water is too high to experience the famous Devil’s Pool. This means that you can experience at least one of the pools almost year-round.

Angel’s Pool is usually accessible between mid-August to the end of January but this all depends on current water levels. Once the water is too high and the current is too strong, the pool is closed for safety reasons. When the water slackens and narrows, the pool may also close as it empties out. You must book a slot with a registered guide to access Angel’s Pool.

If you are considering visiting the Falls, you can keep an eye on this website which provides a live update of the operation status of both pools as well as Livingstone Island.
