Chavuma Falls

The falls create a sequence of cascades along the Zambezi River, becoming more visible as water levels decrease during the dry season.

The falls have maintained their natural state through centuries, marking a significant point along the traditional fishing routes of local communities.

Local fishermen gather near the falls during specific seasons to practice traditional fishing methods passed down through generations.

Access to Chavuma Falls requires traveling through rural paths, with the best viewing opportunities occurring between July and October.

The falls contribute to the creation of fertile floodplains that transition into extensive sand-covered territories known as the Barotse Plain.
