Mambilima Falls, Waterfall system on Luapula River between Democratic Republic of the Congo and Zambia.
Mambilima Falls extends across the Luapula River, creating a series of cascades that mark the natural border between Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The falls have long served as a geographical marker for local communities, guiding navigation and establishing territorial boundaries between the two nations since colonial times.
Local communities along both sides of the Luapula River maintain traditional fishing practices near the falls, using methods passed down through generations.
Visitors can access the falls through unpaved roads from nearby districts, with the dry season offering better conditions for travel and observation.
The falls support a diverse ecosystem where multiple bird species nest within the rocky outcrops, creating natural observation points for wildlife researchers.
