Kalambo Falls, Mbala

This place was beautiful. The drop produced a wonderful noise. The road to the falls was quite rough but worth it. Also note that the visit was during the rainy season and the road is gravel, so parts of it had been washed away by the rain. The last 2km were impossible for our Runx so we parked and walked. The walk to the falls was okay but the walk back! Omg....I felt the incline. But if you have done kundalila from the bottom up, you can handle this. Google maps will mislead you with regards to the location so use maps me or organic maps. Directions: From lake chila lodge in mbala turn right at the T junction (left takes you to town). You will drive for about 2 or 3km you will see a poster to the great kalambo falls lodge at the poster turn left and keep driving for about 30km. There are posters as you go. There are 2 other falls in the kalambo falls area, 200m and 50m away from kalambo but the guide said we could only access them in the dry season. So for the sake of roads and extended adventure visit the falls in the dry season, the down side is the water levels will have dropped and so the waterfall itself may not be so magnificent. Within the falls, there is a lodge called great kalambo falls lodge, we did not stay there but the owner of that lodge is the same owner of the lodge we stayed at so I will assume the service is the same or better considering it is slightly more expensive than the one we stayed at. Great experience, worth the visit.

$10 per person to enter. You don’t need a guide. Falls can be viewed from above (very short hike) and below(although not all the way to the bottom, still under construction) (very short but 200 meters of stairs, bring lots of water)
