Kabwelume Falls, Waterfall in Northern Province, Zambia
Kabwelume Falls features multiple parallel cascades on the Kalungwishi River, with water descending from a height of 18 meters over rock formations.
The Kalungwishi River system, including Kabwelume Falls, has shaped the geological landscape of Northern Zambia through centuries of water erosion.
The Bemba people of Northern Zambia incorporate the falls into their traditions, considering the location as a place of natural spiritual power.
Visitors need to complete a 600-meter hike from the trailhead, crossing streams and navigating slippery paths to reach the falls viewing points.
The waterfall creates a semi-circular pattern during peak water volume in April and May, displaying multiple parallel water segments across its width.
