Ngonye Falls, Waterfall in Western Province, Zambia.
The Ngonye Falls cascade down the Zambezi River, creating a horseshoe formation with multiple rocky outcrops along its extensive width.
The formation of Ngonye Falls resulted from continuous erosion of sandstone layers by the Zambezi River over thousands of years.
Local guides from the Sioma community share their knowledge about the falls and its significance to the Barotseland region.
Visitors need to plan a multi-day journey from Lusaka to reach the falls, as the location requires extensive travel through remote areas.
The falls mark a natural border between Zambia and Namibia's Caprivi Strip, featuring a series of rapids that extend toward Katima Mulilo.
