Kalambo Waterfall
Kalambo is a picturesque waterfall on the river of the same name, located on the border of Tanzania and Zambia. The size of the waterfall is simply amazing, because it rises to 427 meters, and the width depends on the rainy season and ranges from 3 to 20 meters.
The first time Europeans visited here was in 1913, but people settled Kalambo Falls over 250 thousand years ago. Ancient sites have been discovered near the waterfall, so the area was declared a national monument in 1964.
Lake Tanganyika, another beautiful attraction in Africa, is located near Kalambo Falls. The lake is home to many rare cichlid fish, which are caught for sale in pet stores. From the top of the waterfall there is a stunning view of the lake and the surrounding area, and the cliffs of Kalambo are favored by flocks of Marabou. Below the waterfall there is a deep 5-kilometer gorge, the height of which reaches 300 meters.
The waterfall is located in the East African rift valley, so the constant movement of the African and Arabian tectonic plates leads to the rise of the Kalambo River, thereby raising the waterfall level. Perhaps the movement of tectonic plates in millions of years will form an ocean in this place.
