Lofoi Falls, Congo

The Lofoi Falls (also known as the Chutes Kaloba and the Chutes Lofoi) is a waterfall in Katanga Province, the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is one of Central Africa's greatest waterfalls, plunging for an uninterrupted 340 m. The Lofoi river is a tributary of the Lufira river. The falls are much smaller during the dry months of June to October, but they are fairly stunning the rest of the year.

Lofoi Falls is one of Africa's most spectacular waterfalls, with a total freefall height of 1,115 feet. It is one of the tallest in Central Africa, and while its water level drops during the dry season, it is spectacular during the wet season when it pours over the cliff edge into a deep canyon below. The Rivière Lofoi flows slowly across the top of a vast plateau before plunging into a steep valley. The falls cascade down a stratified granite wall on the western border of the Kundelungu massif, a large escarpment.
