Lofoi Falls, Waterfall in Katanga Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo

Lofoi Falls is a waterfall on the Lofoi River in Kundelungu National Park, Haut-Katanga Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo. The river drops from the Kundelungu plateau, at an altitude of about 1,750 m, in a single unbroken plunge of roughly 340 m, among the highest falls in Central Africa. Its flow is modest, and in the dry season the water disperses into the air before reaching the bottom.

The falls lie on the Lofoi, a tributary of the Lufira River, which itself feeds the Congo. The Lofoi drops from the Kundelungu plateau, whose altitude is given as 1,750 m. French sources record a total height of 384 m, of which 347 m fall directly; English sources give an unbroken plunge of 340 m.

The falls are also called Chutes Kaloba, a name used alongside Lofoi and Lofoï. The Lofoi River below the falls feeds the Lufira, itself a tributary of the Congo River, so the water leaving the plateau eventually joins the Congo basin. Visitors reach the site inside Kundelungu National Park, in Haut-Katanga Province.

Reaching the site requires permits from local authorities and arranging transportation through local guides, as road infrastructure remains limited in this remote area. Visitors should plan ahead and allow extra time for travel arrangements.

The Lofoi River drops from the Kundelungu plateau at an altitude of 1,750 m. Its flow is so low that in the dry season the falling water evaporates into the air before reaching the bottom, so the falls can nearly vanish between June and October.
