Situated in the southern part of Barotseland , the falls are a difficult two or three day journey from the capital, Lusaka . Their inaccessibility makes them much less known than Victoria Falls. The falls are formed by the same geological process as Victoria Falls, with cracks in the basalt riverbed being erosion eroded away to form the drop. Their height is only 10 25 meters, but the width of the falls is impressive. They form a broad crescent, interrupted by rocky outcrops. Upstream from the falls, the river is broad and shallow as it flows across Kalahari sands, but below the falls extensive white water rapids exist, as the river is hemmed in by gorge s cut into basalt rock. The surrounding area supports extensive wildlife , especially in the nearby Sioma Ngwezi National Park , and elephant s are frequently seen by the river in the vicinity of the falls. coord 16 39 15 S 23 34 20 E region ZM type waterbody display title References Reflist Category Waterfalls of Zambia Category Zambezi River Category Barotse Floodplain de Ngonyef lle es Cataratas Ngonye it Cascate Ngonye lt Ngonj s krioklys ru uk zh ...   more details
