THE KALAMBO FALLS This spectacular jet of water falls in a single uninterrupted stream 221m / 725ft down into the gorge below and then on into Lake Tanganyika. They are the second highest falls in Africa (the highest are the Tugela Falls in South Africa) and the 12th highest in the world.

The title of the second largest waterfall in Africa is often debated based on whether one measures by height or volume. In terms of total height, the Mutarazi Falls in Zimbabwe, dropping approximately 762 meters (2,499 feet), is often ranked second after South Africa's Tugela Falls. However, if measuring by volume of water flow and width, the Victoria Falls (Mosi-oa-Tunya) on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe is the dominant second-place contender after the Wagenia Falls (Boyoma Falls) in the DRC. Victoria Falls is the world's largest sheet of falling water, stretching 1.7 kilometers wide. In the 2026 travel landscape, many geography experts point to Mutarazi for those seeking dramatic vertical drops, while the high-fidelity power of Victoria Falls remains the benchmark for "bigness" in the minds of most global travelers due to its sheer scale and the permanent mist it creates.
