Ngonye Falls, Sioma Ngwezi National Park, Zambia
Also known as Sioma Falls because these Falls are near the village of Sioma. These beautiful Falls mark the transition point of the Zambezi Rivers' flow from Kalahari sand floodplain to basalt dyke -- the latter eventually contributing to the magnificent gorges of the Victoria Falls.
The horseshoe-shaped Ngonye Falls are mostly impressive because of the sheer volume of water that cascades over the staggered, twenty meter drop. An interesting aspect is that the river flows underneath the rock on either side of the falls. It is quite remarkable to stand upon them, feeling and hearing the underground flow.
The best option is to spend the night at the nearby Matumwa Lodge, owned and managed by 1995 South African Rugby World Cup team player, Gavin Johnson, and his wife Penny. There are also a couple of simple camps at Senanga which also offer guided trips to the Falls.
Alternatively, get to the village of Sioma and ask for a guide to take you to the Falls. It is best viewed by walking about two kilometres downstream of Sioma. There is usually a dugout canoe that will ferry you across the Zambezi - this in itself is an adventure - then a further two kilometre walk back upstream will take you to the Falls' best vantage point. There's also a spot called The Jacuzzi where you can safely swim in amongst the swirling waters.
The Falls provide great photo opportunities at any time of the year, but the optimum time is around June or July. Rafting is best from February to May after the rains. Wildlife is best viewed from July to November, when water is scarce and the animals are forced to come to the water holes or down to the river to drink.
Ngonye / Sioma Falls, Zambezi River, Zambia
The Zambezi is renowned for its majestic Victoria Falls, one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World, but its other waterfalls are not so well-publicised. The Ngonye Falls are situated above-stream from the Victoria near a small Zambian town of Sioma (hence their other name, Sioma Falls), They are comprised of dozens of streams rushing across basalt rocks (and sometimes piercing right through them). The complexity of the geological structure of the place is truly mind-boggling until you see an aerial picture.
We visited this amazing place in January 2017 and were absolutely stunned by its sheer scale and wild beauty. Our special thanks go to Leonie and Piet from Kabula Lodge who gave us directions and shared their know-hows which allowed us to see the falls from all the vantage points (and fed us the most delicious lamb potje when we came back to the camp, tired, a bit sunburned but absolutely blissfully happy)!
У всех, кто когда-либо интересовался Африкой, Замбези ассоциируется в первую очередь с великолепным водопадом Виктория, признанным одним из 7 природных чудес света. Но мало кому известно, что на своем пути река проходит и через другие препятствия. Водопад Нгонье находится недалеко от замбийского городка Сиома (отсюда его другое, одноименное название), выше по течению от Виктории. Он состоит из десятков потоков, несущихся по базальтовым плитам (а иногда промывающих себе дорогу и прямо внутри камня). Сложность геологической структуры этого места не поддается описанию, цельная картина складывается только благодаря коптеру.
Мы посетили Нгонье в январе 2017 и были просто ошеломлены масштабом и дикой красотой этого места. Наша особая благодарность Питу и Леони, владельцам отеля Кабула, которые не только поделились с нами всеми секретными местами (нам удалось посмотреть на водопад со всех возможных сторон), но и накормили нас потрясающим бурским пойки из бараньей шеи, который до сих пор снится нам в кулинарно-ориентированных снах ))
Chiawa Camp, Zambezi National Park, Zambia - Unravel Travel TV
The family owned and operated multi-award winning Chiawa Camp in the incredible Lower Zambezi National Park is Zambia's premier luxury safari camp and offers unusually varied activities such as game drives, walking, canoeing, boating and angling in the company of Africa's finest guides.
Indulge in attentive yet unpretentious, personalised service, fabulous cuisine and tents with spectacular views of the Zambezi and its resident wildlife. All this in a beautiful setting with leopards, lions, elephants, hippos and other wildlife as your neighbours. Along with Chiawa's renowned dedication to its guests, staff, local communities and conservation, share in Chiawa's passion and experience so that you can enjoy one of Africa's very finest safari camps and the wildlife adventure of a lifetime. Founded, owned and run by the Cumings family who are utterly dedicated to ensuring that Chiawa Camp & Old Mondoro continue to be one of Africa's very top safari operations.
Chiawa Camp blends in effortlessly with its idyllic surroundings and provides a retreat which guests are invited to make their home away from home, where guests receive the friendliest of welcomes, the biggest of smiles and where guests, who leave as friends to return time and again, experience the very best in Africa.
On the banks of the Zambezi River, under a grove of evergreen Mahogany trees, Chiawa Camp holds the prime position in the heart of Zambia's Lower Zambezi National Park. It is at this very spot where the Cumings Family first explored this area for themselves decades ago, where David Livingstone had ventured through nearly 150 years previously, and where in 1989 they created the very first photo safari operation in the Lower Zambezi National Park - and through their efforts what has since become one of Africa's most desirable, sought after safari destinations. A stunning thatched lounge/bar area with upstairs viewing deck provides one of the best views of the Zambezi whilst after enjoying Chiawa's renowned cuisine on the al-fresco dining veranda, one can relax by the open camp fire with a cocktail in hand to reminisce of the day's adventures before retiring to the tents, each a sanctuary of luxury and peace to dream about what tomorrow may bring. Also available for guests' enjoyment and relaxation are two perfectly positioned game viewing hides and a plunge pool with timber sun deck overlooking the Zambezi.
The tents all have timber floors and verandas with excellent views and are accessed by paths running behind them to maximise privacy. All share ample comforts, conveniences and unexpected luxuries such as free WiFi, 24/7 lighting and charging facilities (220v UK plugs), 24/7 hot & cold running water, king size beds, Egyptian cotton linens, his & hers washbasins, indoor and outdoor showers and ball & claw baths complemented by high quality, eco friendly amenities.
The Lower Zambezi National Park, by virtue of the Zambezi River and its parallel escarpment, is one of Africa's most scenic wildernesses, home to an impressive quantity and variety of wildlife that can be viewed not only on the more usual land based safari activities but also on a variety of water based activities and in the camps themselves. Do not expect vast vistas and plains with thousands of prey animals constantly being hunted down by dozens of predators. There are other places for this, other places with more animals and more variety -- but these places are usually on the path more traveled, suffering from an overload of tourists and average guiding. Zambia's wildernesses are still wild and not yet overrun with lodges and tourists, where tracking down its precious wildlife requires skilled guides and patient guests who appreciate the adventure and remoteness as much as the sightings. It is important to note that Zambia does not offer private concessions in its National Parks and so one is likely to encounter others during their safaris, however due to the remoteness of Zambia's National Parks, this is rarely an issue and you do not suffer from multiple vehicles and people at any one sighting as in some places in East Africa. Both Chiawa Camp and Old Mondoro are located in the middle of the prime wildlife and habitat zones of the Lower Zambezi National Park, so you usually do not have to travel far to see wildlife (which often visits us in camp!) and we are usually headed back to camp by the time any other vehicles start finding out what's going on.

South Luangwa National Park in eastern Zambia,
110 South Luangwa National Park in eastern Zambia, the southernmost of three national parks in the valley of the Luangwa River, is a world-renowned wildlife haven. It supports large populations of Thornicroft's giraffe, and herds of elephants and Cape buffaloes often several hundred strong, while the Luangwa River supports abundant crocodiles and hippopotamuses. It is one of the best-known national parks in Africa for walking safaris. Founded as a game reserve in 1938, it became a national park in 1972 and now covers 9,050 km2.
The Muchinga Escarpment in Northern and Central Provinces forms the park's western or north-western boundary, it slopes down from there to the river, lying mostly on its western bank. The eastern bank of the river is in Eastern Province, and as access to the park is only from that side, it is usually thought of as being wholly in Eastern Province.

Ntumbachushi Falls in Northern Zambia
When I think of Zambia, I don't think of gorgeous waterfalls like this. It was a great surprise, especially given how arid the surrounding area was. Also spelled as Ntumbacusi or Ntumbacushi, these falls are part of a series located along the Ngona River in Luapula Province, Zambia. The falls are relatively close to the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo and situated in-between the towns of Mbereshi and Kawambwa.
Despite it being in the middle of dry season we enjoyed the opportunity to brave the waters and to go for a swim in one of the smaller falls about 2km further up the river. Luckily there were no adverse effects or parasites and the water was warm, clear, and wonderful. An all around incredible experience.
