    Kalambo Falls & Sacred Gorge

    MbalaZambiaPrehistoric (500,000+ years ago)

    Kalambo Falls is a magnificent 221-meter uninterrupted single-drop waterfall situated on the Kalambo River at the border of Zambia and Tanzania. Revered as one of Africa’s most significant prehistoric sites, excavations here uncovered the world’s oldest worked wooden structure, dating back over 476,000 years. Indigenous Lungu tradition considers the gargantuan gorge and deep plunge pool to be the domain of a gigantic spirit snake and ancestral guardians who watch over the abyss.
