Multi-cascade waterfall system
Fed by the mighty Lufira River
Surrounded by savanna and wetlands
Spiritual purification symbolism
Remote and untouched
Exclusive eco-tourism potential
Lufira / Kiubo Falls are among the most beautiful and least-known waterfall systems in southern Democratic Republic of Congo. Where the powerful Lufira River cuts through rocky escarpments, its waters plunge into spectacular cascades surrounded by savanna woodland and gallery forests. The site combines raw water power, open landscapes, and deep serenity. These falls are a hidden sister wonder to Lofoi and the Kundelungu highlands — dramatic, wild, and rarely visited. Discover a secret waterfall world of Katanga, hear the true voice of Congo's rivers, walk through open African savannas and wetlands, and capture images few travelers on Earth have ever taken.
