Kundalila Falls, National heritage site in Central Zambia.
Kundalila Falls is a waterfall in central Zambia that descends 65 meters in height along the Kaombe River. The water cascades over several tiers, creating natural pools at different levels where visitors can see and experience the water from various points.
The Bemba people of northern Zambia named the falls, with the word referring to how water spreads across the rock face. The site has long been a natural feature recognized by those living in this region.
The name comes from the Bemba language and describes how water flows across the rocks. Local communities maintain strong ties to the site through stories and traditions that have shaped their connection to this place.
The site is best visited during rainy seasons when water flow is stronger and more impressive. Paths around the falls can be slippery, so sturdy footwear helps you move safely around the area.
The water forms several connected pools at different heights created by the varying drop levels across the site. These pools let visitors experience the water and power of the falls up close without needing to reach the bottom.
