Kundalila Falls- Travel Tips What to See, How to Plan & Tours: Natural Scenery; Zambia; 5 Reviews

Suggested Duration: 4 hours

Kundalila Falls, located in Central Province, Zambia, is a breathtaking natural wonder. The Kaombe River cascades 70 meters (230 feet), creating delicate veils of water that nourish a lush botanical garden surrounding the falls. Visitors can enjoy swimming in the deep natural pool at the base and camping nearby. The top of the falls provides spectacular views of the expansive Luangwa Valley, while the foot is renowned for its vibrant wildflowers. The name "Kundalila," meaning "cooing or crying dove" in Bemba, reflects the serene bird sounds in this peaceful setting.

We visited when the water levels were low but still a marvel to watch. The walk down to the bottom was exhilarating and made getting to the bottom worth it. Highly recommend visiting the Fall.

Spectacular falls. You need to visit both sides from the top, both sides of the falls, and also the bottom. Swimming! Yikes, water is cold.

Breath taking waterfall. This was our second visit and it was fantastic. The water levels were high this time around and so the waterfall was mighty! The spray!! OMG. The rapids on the river before were a force to reckon with. The walk to the bottom is step but totally worth it. Prepare yourself for the climb back up. The distance is about 800m. No worries, as soon as you get to the top, you will forget about the struggle. Directions: from Serenje turn off, drive 52km in the northern direction. You will find a kundalila falls poster, turn right onto the gravel road and drive for 13km. There is a place to park and camp. Also there is a lodge very near the falls called lala guest lodge. We did not spend anytime here so can't give a review. Note: due to the rains the gravel road is severely damaged in some parts. We had to park our 2WD and walk the last 2.4km to the falls. But with a 4WD and maybe a 2WD with high clearance you can drive all the way to the falls.
