Beautiful view of sunken lake

It’s a very beautiful lake. It’s best to visit the place with a high vehicle during rain season as we faced challenges in a small car. Other than that it’s a good place for camping, water is so clear for swimming and beautiful

Beautify place. A lake not on any river, sunken on rocks with belief that the depth is infinite. It has a greater gravitational pull and a thrown stone will land within a short distance. it is a national heritage site and you will find a guide. charges are 15USD for foreign tourists and K5 for Zambian residents. camping fee is K13 (Note that these prices may change with time but at the time of my review this is what you expect) You can swim but at own risk and locals are advised not to rescue a drowning visitor for fear that there is a mysterious spirit that pulls persons. This is believed so as it has been said that bodies of drowned persons have not been found anywhere floating. Surrounded by trees but you will struggle to see any leaf floating on its clean and dark waters. This is a lake you must see..

The Copperbelt's hidden gem! Lake Kashiba aka The Sunken Lake in Mpongwe district. The lake is believed to be over 100m deep and is perfect for cliff diving/jumping and camping spot. Fun fact about Lake Kashiba is that the locals don’t swim in it because they believe there is a creature that lives in the water and that the water is sacred. They have no issues with visitors swimming though. The charge is free as long as you leave the surroundings better than you found them.

Beautiful and mysterious place, worth going once to see what natural beauties mother nature has. 4x4 and high vehicle needed to get close to the lake. Carry everything with as nothing is available out there.
