Surrounding Interests

Northern Zambia and the Lake Tanganyika area in particular is steeped in history and tradition as well as being blessed with natural beauty.

Some nearby spots of interest are:

Kalambo falls
Situated several kilometres upstream of where the Kalambo river flows into the lake is Africa's second highest single drop waterfall.

Shiwa N'gandu
Built in the 1920's by Sir Stewart Gore Browne, Shiwa Ngandu is a remarkable structure well worth the visit. There is a nearby lodge and
hot spring that offers a bath temperature pond ideal for soaking the days worries away.

Tondwa Game Management Area (GMA)
Is an IUCN Category VIII Multiple use management area of 54,000 ha which is adjacent to Nsumbu NP and consists of a vast swamp and important aquatic environment.

Lake Mweru Wantipa
Lies slightly to the west of Lake Tanganyika and while much smaller and not a rift lake is home to the rare slender snouted crocodile.




Lumangwe Falls
Is several kilometres downriver from the Kalungwishi bridge on the Mansa to Kawambwa road. An absolutely spectacular waterfall over 100 meters wide and about 30 meters high.
Isolated in surrounding Miombo woodlands, one of the best kept secrets of northern Zambia.

Ntumbachusi Falls
Situated only a kilometre off the tar road there is a delightful array of swimming holes above the falls and the campsite is charming at the base of the falls. An ideal overnight stopover on the way to Ndole Bay.
