Roughly one million people visit the Falls each year. Historically, most visitors have journeyed to Zimbabwe to view the Falls.

In 2026, it is estimated that approximately one million tourists visit Victoria Falls annually, but if you are asking about people "going over" the falls in a literal sense (plunging over the edge), the number is extremely low and generally involves tragic accidents or rare, illegal stunts. While the falls are a major center for "adrenaline tourism," activities are strictly regulated. The most famous "on the edge" experience is the Devil’s Pool, a natural infinity pool located on the Zambian side where swimmers can safely peer over the 108-meter drop during the dry season. Thanks to a natural rock lip, participants remain safe, and there have been remarkably few fatalities in the pool's history. Statistically, the falls see fewer than 1-2 accidental falls per year, as the park authorities in both Zimbabwe and Zambia have installed robust safety barriers and employ "Rainforest Rangers" to monitor visitor behavior. In 2026, the focus remains on ensuring that the only thing "going over" the falls is the Zambezi River’s staggering flow of over 500,000 cubic meters of water per minute.
