NORTHERN ZAMBIA: Mutinondo Wilderness and waterfalls.
On the long road down from the north, nestled quietly among the hills and miombo forest, Mutinondo Wilderness is a hiking paradise, with a massive variety of plants, including mushrooms a metre wide! Further north is Chishimba Falls, and right on the Taznania border is the deep drop off, Kalambo Falls.

I was asked $200 to rent a motorcycle in town. Lucky. I would have got lost for sure, and the $20-30 we paid for a car was a good investment. Kalambo Falls, Zambia.
