Kalambo River

The Kalambo River forms part of the border between Zambia and Tanzania. It is a comparatively small stream which rises on the Ufipa Plateau in Rukwa Region,Tanzania north-east of Mbala at an elevation of about and descends into the Albertine Rift, entering the southeastern end of Lake Tanganyika at an elevation of about, in a straight-line distance of only about. This accounts for its main claim to fame, its waterfall, Kalambo Falls, which is Africa's second highest falls. Below the falls, the river runs in a deep gorge.
The site of the river includes important archaeological sites.
