Things to see and do Lubudi

The Dipera Falls (about ten metres high), on the North Kalule River, are a priori accessible, to be combined with the nearby Kayo Falls (within the Upemba Park), and the Falls on the South Kalule (Dikolongo and Kawa).

Among the other falls for the moment inaccessible:

the 20-metre-high Kamwanga Falls, which was accessible until the 1980s up the North Kalule River. It is the third part of a fall apparently described as "much more important and spectacular". This fall is represented on a national currency note.

kabundji Falls from a height of 120 meters, located on the South Kalule, about fifteen kilometers from Lubudi.

The old records also mention the fall of the North Kalule, 42 kilometres from Lubudi on the Bukama road, and the fall of the Lubudi.

15 kilometres from Lubudi, upstream of Dikolongo (at the junction, on the left), still on the South Kalule, are the powerful Kawa Falls (+/- 90 m high) which flow in three levels. A moving show that you can't get enough of. Access is via a small path along the river, dotted with electric pylons and charming streetlights from the colony. The former staff house and especially the buildings of the power station itself are worth a look. It is possible to visit the installation and the tools permanently at a standstill but which remain impressive. Everything has remained in place since the closure in 2005....

The surroundings of Lubudi are also full of caves, which would delight speleologists and informed visitors, in a register of niche tourism-adventure. The province is considering making them accessible and conducting preliminary explorations. Because there are still many things to discover!

The Kyantapo cave (within the Upemba Park) was classified at the time as a tourist site because of the sculptures of unknown age it apparently contained. Although currently difficult to access, it is identified by local officials, and a prior ceremony is obviously necessary to enter it.

The cave of Kando has a Dantean entrance"and would end in a lake containing blind fish....

The Mpalaba cave, on the other hand, would extend for kilometres and would also end in an important lake, but with access already considered difficult at the time...

Of less interest is also the Kiama Kende cave.

Salt springs are also mentioned near the Mokabe-Kasari road

The Dikolongo Falls, about 45 metres high, are located 11 km from Lubudi on the South Kalule River. It is wide and discharges the river in a single fall. The access is not easy but the show is worth the detour! This river has been developed for the two hydroelectric power plants necessary for the operation of the Cimenkat. Two possibilities to admire the falls: from below, for an impressive show, with guaranteed freshness and humidity because given the flow in the rainy season we get copious rinses.... Or from above, by climbing the 200 steps to reach the dam that operated the plant. The Dikolongo reservoir (150 ha) is a bird paradise and serves as a resting place for many migrants. For fishing enthusiasts, note that it is full of tilapia. On the road, admire the old, undeveloped houses of the Cimenkat's executives.
