Nyambwezi Falls, Waterfall in North-Western Province, Zambia.
The Nyambwezi Falls cascade from a height of 20 meters, creating a vertical water display on the Nyambwezu River in North-Western Zambia.
Archaeological evidence reveals prehistoric engravings in a rock shelter near the falls' edge, indicating human presence during the late Stone Age period.
The name Nyambwezi translates to 'place of the rising sun' in local languages, reflecting the natural connection between the falls and morning light.
Visitors require a four-wheel-drive vehicle to navigate the unpaved roads leading to the falls, located 204 kilometers south of the Solwezi-Mwinilunga road.
The falls maintain consistent water flow throughout seasons, supporting diverse wildlife species and providing natural habitats in the surrounding ecosystem.
