The Ngonye Falls, also called the Sioma Falls is located in Western province of Zambia on the Zambezi river. The falls are formed by the erosion of a hard sandstone layer to form the drop. Its height is 10–25 meters, but the width of the falls is impressive. A visit to Sioma Falls, he second largest waterfall on the Zambezi, you swim in the natural jacuzzis on the rocks next to the Falls. Some close-up shots of the Ngonye falls, situated 175 Kms from Mongu town in Sioma District. Ngonye falls is one of Zambia's extraordinary treasure, nestled in the captivating Western region. This natural wonder boasts seven enchanting waterfall points, colossal cracked rocks harmoniously adorning the Zambezi River, and an awe-inspiring, thunderous roar that reverberates for miles. Ngonye Sioma Falls is a waterfall located on the Zambezi River in western Zambia, near the border with Angola. It is part of the Zambezi River's Barotse Floodplain and is one of the main waterfalls along the river, which is the fourth-longest river in Africa. Ngonye Falls is also known as Sioma Falls or Ngonye Falls National Park, and it is a popular tourist destination due to its natural beauty and the diverse range of wildlife in the surrounding area. The falls are about 60 meters high and 300 meters wide, and they offer visitors the opportunity to go fishing, boating, and birdwatching, as well as to take in the spectacular views of the falls themselves. The area around Ngonye Falls is home to several species of wildlife, including elephants, buffalo, lions, and hippos. There are also many species of birds, such as the African fish eagle, the black eagle, and the red-throated twin spot. Visitors to the falls can explore the surrounding national park, which offers opportunities for game drives, walking safaris, and cultural tours of local villages.

There are very few signs to direct one to Ngonye (Sioma) Falls, but it is worth the effort to get out there to see it. It's a fairly wide curtain Falls stretched over a hundred or more meters. The Falls is overseen by a group of local residents and there's a small charge to get in and a short drive from the entrance fence to the parking area. One then has to walk several hundred metres to the river's edge to view the Falls. It's a pleasant walk but over rocky terrain so those with limited mobility will not be able to view the Falls easily. There are some Impala within the Ngonye Falls grounds as well. Worth the trip to see the Falls and I hope to be able to see them again during the high river flows when the Falls will be even more impressive.

Friendly staff and welcoming. The place has a retail store for your ornaments. Also available at this location are focils of various species and a brief history of the first contact British missionaries had with sinoma falls. The Falls can be spotted at three points a few meters from the edge, and when you reach the edge oh, it's breathtaking 😍. If you plan to visit, wear closed comfortable shoes so that you're able to stand on the rocks and do the 12 minutes walk from the entry point to the falls comfortably. I give 3 stars because their convenience rooms are dirty and had no running water. They also had no water from their taps around the area.
