does crack the top 10), Kalambo Falls plunges impressively down the Rift Val-
ley Escarpment along the Zambian border. The gorge is also famous in archae-
ological circles since many important Stone Age (up to 300,000 years old) and
later finds have been made in the area.
Liemba Beach Lodge in Kasanga ( Click here ) charges about US$80 for a boat
to the mouth of the Kalambo River, from where it's a long climb. If you're pre-
pared to camp and hike, you can also use lake taxis.
In the dry season it's possible to drive (4WD only; look for the 'Kalambo
Falls 16km' sign in Kawala village on your way to Kasanga) to within a few
minutes' walk of the falls; in the rainy season a good driver can usually make it
to Kapozwa village, about a 20-minute walk away. In Sumbawanga, 4WD
drivers ask for Tsh200,000 for the 250km return trip. Saloon car drivers charge
less, but they must stop far from the falls.
The road is better and shorter on the Zambian side; a return trip taxi fare from
Mbala is about US$50.
