In all you have over two dozen water falls, some of them of gigantic proportions. Please talk us through the other major ones…

Other than the Victoria Falls, Zambia has the Kalambo Falls which is Africa’s second deepest falls. It is also a rich archaeological resource. Kalambo Falls is said to be second highest free-leaping or single-drop waterfall. It is in high flow in May and June, but this depends on how much rainfall the region gets each year. Zambia has got the lion’s share of water resources in whole Southern Africa. There are more than ten waterfalls in Zambia from the south to the north. And this makes Zambia a tempting place to visit because of the large areas that are untouched by man. The visitor can travel to private tourist sites to see, feel and hear. Then you have the Kabweluma Falls that comprises of three flatbed waterfalls, each spilling into the next. The first and main cascade is 25-metre high which is followed by two smaller cascades. The locals believe that these falls are home to yet another Snake Spirit that lives under the rainbow which can be viewed at any time of the day. Then you have the Chishimba Falls, Ngonye Falls in the Western Province, waterfalls, and another one at the Serenje District (see section on waterfalls for entire list).
