Almost
30% of all the fresh water in Africa originates in Zambia and a
large portion of this is in the Northern province of Zambia. There
are an untold number of waterfalls in the region, all are
spectacularly beautiful; from the roaring Lumangwe (AKA
Victoria falls of the North) and Kabweluma falls to the
gorgeous and picturesque Ntumbachusi.
Many
of these hidden gems are rarely visited and several are virtually
unknown and even more magnificent for it. As a display of Nature’s
simplistic beauty waterfalls are unequalled, their allure over the
ages is evident by the volume of rock art in their immediate
vicinity.
Many of the
waterfalls of Northern Zambia still hold Mythical significance to
the Local people: spirit houses and incantations are still in
use….and not for the sake of tourism, the power of these waterfalls
is as it has always been.
Ndole
Bay Lodge is now offering overland 4x4 tours to the Northern most
falls which are the most impressive. These trips are based from
Ndole Bay Lodge, which is accessible by road or flights to Kasaba
Bay Airstrip.
The likes of
Lumangwe and Kabweluma falls offer ideal campsites metres from the
lip of these cascades, while the spectacularly high Chikka
and Lupupa are still only accessible through hiking for
several hours through
virgin
African bush.
All camping equipment is provided, meals are prepared
and don’t forget your swimmers!!!
Please
enquire for details on which falls may suite your personal
interests.
