Ngonye Falls (Sioma Falls)

Western Province (Sioma), Zambia

---

Ngonye Falls, also known as Sioma Falls, is a spectacular waterfall on the Zambezi River near the town of Sioma in western Zambia.

Although not as high as Victoria Falls, it is renowned for its impressive width, horseshoe shape, and the enormous volume of water that cascades over the rocky ledges. The falls mark the point where the Zambezi leaves the sandy floodplains and enters a more rugged landscape of rock formations and rapids. Visitors can enjoy dramatic viewpoints, hear the powerful roar of the water, and explore the surrounding natural scenery, which changes dramatically with the seasons.

Because of their remote location and relatively low visitor numbers, Ngonye Falls offer a quieter and more secluded experience than many other famous African waterfalls. Their combination of natural beauty, powerful river scenery, and cultural significance makes them one of Zambia’s hidden gems.
