Ntumbachushi Falls Ntumbachushi Falls has an interesting character about it in that its main falls seems like two separate falls (like it was when we were there). But in the rainy season, the falls expands into a very wide behemoth. The main falls looks like it's around 10-15m tall. A well-developed walkway leads from the first section of the falls across a bridge and along the stream to the far end of the main falls. When walking to the base of the far end of the main falls, watch out for the slippery surface as well as the thorny vegetation (which managed to draw my blood). The well-graded unsealed access road is a 2km detour off the main road some 18km west of Kawambwa (at the base of the hill). Local guide (a well-educated and forward-thinking gentleman named Joseph) said there's also a trail that climbs up the escarpment (allow at least an hour for the round trip) towards a smaller upper waterfall as well as some rock paintings. We were looking against the sun in mid to late morning when viewing the falls. Therefore, the afternoon is probably the best time to see the falls. Tell us about your experience with this waterfall.
