Zambia, The Land of Waterfalls


I bet you knew about Victoria Falls, a spectacular destination along the Zambezi River on the border of ZAMBIA and Zimbabwe. Did you also know that Zambia, situated in South-Central Africa, boasts quite a lot of waterfalls? The Chavuma Falls are located near Angola in northwest Zambia, and you would find the Ngonye Falls 200 miles south. Travel even more south (before reaching the Caprivi Strip of Namibia), and you find the Kasanga Falls. All three straddle the Zambezi River. Falls in northern Zambia include Chisimba Falls (near the city of Kasama, along the Lukulu River), Mambilima (Johnston) Falls, and Mumbotuta Falls. Both of the aforementioned 'M' falls are situated on the Luapula River, which borders the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Lumangwe Falls is the northernmost waterfall that I have mentioned. It is found along the Kalungwishi River, east of Lusenga National Park, and southeast of Lake Mweru.
