Over time, the Falls have attained an important bearing on the Lunda and Chishinga people of Luapula Province. They are a powerful shrine for both tribes. History reveals that Mwata Kazembe Chinyanta Munona VI of the Lunda people fell in love with his brother\u2019s wife and married her. As compensation for the beautiful woman, he gave his brother the land around the falls and beyond and this became the boundary of the Lunda people.<\/p><p>The Falls can be easily accessed from Nchelenge and Mansa in Luapula Province.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"5\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2505\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Chishimba<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2505\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"5\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2505\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><p>The Bemba people in the north regard the Chishimba Falls as on the most sacred places of power. The natural spirit, Chishimba, is believed to reside in the cave below the Falls, which is a place of prayer and honour. No insults, curses, words of vengeance or hatred may be uttered in the vicinity of the caves.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"6\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2506\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Ngonye<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2506\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"6\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2506\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><p>In the west, near the Village of Sioma on the Zambezi River, lie the Ngonye Falls. Although not very high, the volume of water thundering over the rocks is second only to the Victoria Falls. The falls can be seen from Sioma but if you cross the river 2 km downstream in a dugout canoe, and take a path back upstream, the full magnitude can be seen. They are 12 metres high but spread around a broad crescent. In the winter dry season, they provide a pleasant picnic spot and in full flood, they become a broad, roaring, surging, thundering force.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"7\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2507\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Kundalila<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2507\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"7\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2507\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><p>Kundalila Falls is found in Central Province, in an area of spectacular scenic beauty. The Kaombe River flows 70 metres down, breaking into thin veil, nourishing a natural botanical garden that surrounds the Falls. The top of the Kundalila Falls offers one of the most spectacular views over the vast Luangwa Valley, while at the foot is a delightful natural pool of great scenic beauty famed for its wild flowers.<\/p><p>The name of the waterfall means \u2018cooing dove\u2019, one of the many bird sounds you will hear in this tranquil setting.

The worship temples for the protective spirits, Makumba and his sister Ngosa, are situated some distance south of the Mumbuluma Falls. The temple has a sacred fire which never goes out and is tended by the priests. According to history, Makumba and Ngosa fell from the

unusual and exciting experience or activity.<\/p><p>For those seeking adventure-packed activity holidays, Zambia is brimming with opportunities. There are several recreational pursuits to be enjoyed such as the following:<\/p><p><strong>Abseiling, Gorge Swinging and High wiring:<\/strong> Boost your adrenalin levels by abseiling down the gorge, high wiring, gorge swinging and rap jumping with a safety harness and as much courage as can be mastered. Visitors can spend the whole day doing them all for maximum fun!<\/p><p><strong>Canoe Safaris<\/strong><\/p><p>These offer a great alternative to land based safaris and no real boating skills or experience are necessary. Canoeing brings one closer to wildlife such as hippos, crocodiles and elephants.<\/p><p><strong>Bungi Jumping:<\/strong> For a life changing rush, take a leap of faith from the highest bridge jump in the world! The Victoria Falls is 111 metres high and spans the Batoka Gorge, with the mighty Zambezi River right below.<\/p><p><strong>Horse Riding Trails:<\/strong> The horse trails are a delight through wonderful scenery including river crossings and camping out if a 2-hour ride is not enough.<\/p><p><strong>Jet Boating:<\/strong> This is a thrill ride in hi speed jet-propelled boats over the rapids on the Zambezi River.<\/p><p><strong>Microlighting:<\/strong> offers unique, inhibited and literally breathtaking views of the Victoria Falls and the spectacular gorge that the Zambezi has carved into the surrounding landscape over the many thousands of years.<\/p><p><strong>River boarding:<\/strong> slide on a boogie board down the rapids of the Zambezi River, safety gear is worn but it is a lot of fun and rewarding too.<\/p><p><strong>Tandem Kayaking and Canoeing:<\/strong> Another great adventure negotiating rapids with a seasoned white water rafting guide! For a more sedate experience, guided canoeing is just the ticket. Visitors can glide along the Zambezi and take in the beautiful scenery, skirt islands and watch the wildlife. There are also overnight trips with camping on the islands.<\/p><p><strong>Walking with the Lions<\/strong>: ever imagined walking with a Lion? Bring your imagination alive in Zambia where your will walk with lions and cheeters the same way you do with fellow human beings.<\/p><p><strong>White water rafting:<\/strong> One of the most intense experiences that can be imagined!\u00a0 It\u2019s a wild rollercoaster journey rafting from the base of Victoria Falls through the Batoka Gorge. There are 13 thundering rapids when the river is high, usually March to July. Once the water level drops then the full 23 rapids can be done. This adventure can be taken in a half day, full day or 2-day (with camping in the gorge) excursion.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-491a2fd elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"491a2fd\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-03f1a91\" data-id=\"03f1a91\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-35345a8 elementor-arrows-position-inside elementor-pagination-position-outside elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-carousel\" data-id=\"35345a8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;navigation&quot;:&quot;both&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_hover&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_interaction&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;autoplay_speed&quot;:5000,&quot;infinite&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;speed&quot;:500}\" data-widget_type=\"image-carousel.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*!
