The Kaombe River in Zambia makes an exciting waterfall near the small town of Kanona in the Serenje District. The waterfall is called "Kundalila Falls" which means "crying dove" in the local Bemba language.
GPS coordinates:
- T2 junction to the falls (Kanona): -13.070171,30.63445
- Kundalila Falls: -13.158717,30.705414
Location directions: Drive the T2 "Great North Road" up to Kanona where you see a signposted junction to Kundalila Falls (GPS above). Follow the gravel road. After 14km you will reach the falls.
From top of the falls you have a spectacular view over the Luangwa Valley which is part of the western branch of the Great Rift Valley. In multiple stages the Kaombe River drops some 70m from the escarpment. At the foot of the fall is an area of great scenic beauty: a natural pool surrounded by famous wild flowers.
Kundalila Falls belongs to the list of official Zambian Natural Monuments, see Monuments and Historic Sites of Zambia.
