Kundabwika Falls- Travel Tips

What to See, How to Plan & Tours

Nestled along the Kalungwishi River in northern Zambia—approximately 95 km northwest of Mporokoso and near Lake Mweru—Kundabwika Falls comprises two modest cascades, with the main drop plunging about 25 meters and broadening to nearly 70 meters during the rainy season. This setting is rich in cultural significance: the site is overseen by a traditional custodian appointed by the local chief, and omitting ritual or prayer is believed to bring misfortune. Beyond its physical form, Kundabwika Falls bears archaeological importance, with Iron Age rock paintings etched into the surrounding stone surfaces, linking visitors to Zambia's deep historical tapestry. The falls' secluded location—less visited than its nearby counterparts Lumangwe and Kabwelume Falls—blends sacred heritage, geological interest, and serene landscapes in a setting that quietly reveals both natural beauty and ancestral legacy.
