Boiling Pot (Victoria Falls)

The Boiling Pot provides an interesting view from the base of the falls and the Victoria Falls Bridge spanning the gorge.
The Boiling Pot is the launching site of the white water rafting trips. It can be accessed from the Zimbabwean or Zambian side below the bridge. The experience of the Falls from the gorge is awesome in an entirely different way from the view at the top.
The two streams of the Zambezi meet below Danger Point in the Boiling Pot, a permanent whirlpool, which is a deep and treacherous fissure. This is the point where the current incarnation of the Victoria Falls was born – and the equivalent of the Devil’s Cataract of the preceding falls – the one that formed Second Gorge over which the bridge has been built.
