Are you fond of unusual excursions? In this case, don’t forget to include a visit to the mysterious Chinhoyi Caves into your vacation. This is a complex and large chain of ancient caves. The length of the biggest cave in the complex is more than 45 meters. The cave is very deep and is partially covered with water. It is possible to participate in not only walking excursions. The underground lake inside the cave has crystal clear water, so it attracts divers who want to explore it.

Devils Pool
From the series “Most Scary Swiiming Pools”
Some incredibly scary pools were created by nature itself. A great example is the Devil's Pool. It is located at the top of Victoria Falls. This powerful waterfall is the highest in the world. It is very life-threatening to swim in its pools. More than 15 people have died as a result of such seemingly innocent entertainment in recent years. The height of Victoria Falls is 128 meters. It dumps tons of water into the narrow gorge every second.
The water washed out a fairly large natural pool in front of the abyss, into which the waterfall flows. Travelers from all over the world are eager to swim in it and take memorable photos. Swimming at a distance of less than a meter from the edge of the abyss is great entertainment for everyone who loves the thrill. All that separates in this case … Read all
