Things to see and do Kasama

The falls are located on the Luombe River. It is in fact a combination of three waterfalls. Mutumuna, the first, is the prettiest with its 20-meter high drop; the second, Keyela, is a succession of rapids; the third, Chishimba, falls in three stages into the stone canyon. The falls are used as a generator for a hydroelectric station, but the installation does not spoil the beauty of the site which, according to the locals, is inhabited by spirits. There is a camping area and beautiful walks in the rainforest around the falls.

An exceptional site classified as a national monument and UNESCO world heritage. It is a major prehistoric art complex in Africa of some 700 rock paintings in caves and caverns. They were made by Batwa (or Twa) hunter-gatherers in the Stone Age and some may be as old as 20,000 years. Most of the drawings represent abstract and enigmatic geometric shapes of dots and circles. But at Sumina, one can see a hunter chasing a lion and a buffalo, and at Mwankole, figures of dancers and a penis.
