Spyke Falls
Spyke Falls was actually a waterfall we didn’t expect to see on our St Lucia trip. It was introduced to us by a guide who also guided us to Enbas Saut Falls and it’s allegedly the tallest waterfall..
Toraille Falls
Toraille Falls is one of the easier waterfalls to visit given that it’s well signed with a pretty roomy car park. After getting through the entrance hut and paying the entrance…
Sault Falls (Errard Falls or Dennery Falls)
Sault Falls (also known as Errard Falls as well as Dennery Falls) is perhaps St Lucia’s most scenic waterfall falling some 15-20m over a rounded cliff. It’s one of the few…
Anse La Raye Falls
Anse La Raye Falls is a pretty cascade inland from the small, but charming fishing town of Anse La Raye on the western side of the island. Of the handful of falls we’ve seen…
Kaieteur Falls
Kaieteur Falls is Guyana’s greatest scenic wonder. The Potaro River is said to drop some 221m with a width of nearly 100m (though rainy-season dimensions of 741ft high and 370ft wide…
Orinduik Falls
Orinduik Falls was included as a throw-in for our day tour to Kaieteur Falls. It was a waterfall that contrasted Kaieteur in many ways. For starters, this was a wide, multi-tiered series of…
Thomson Falls (Nyahururu)
Thomson Falls (or Thomson’s Falls; also known as Nyahururu) was the name of both the neighboring town as well as the waterfall. This was the only waterfall we saw on our June 2008 safari in…

Ntumbachushi Falls
Ntumbachushi Falls (I’ve also seen it spelled Ntumbacusi Falls and Ntumbacushi Falls) seemed to be a waterfall in a transitional state when we saw it in May 2008. The way we saw the falls, it…
Lumangwe Falls
Lumangwe Falls was like a miniature Victoria Falls except this one was no slouch in its own right. It appeared to be roughly 30-40m tall and spanning a width of around 160m. But it had that wide…
Kabwelume Falls
Kabwelume Falls (I’ve also seen it spelled Kabweluma Falls) was definitely one of the most spectacular waterfalls on the Kalungwishi River, in our opinions at least. Well, at least this and…
Mumbuluma Falls
Mumbuluma Falls was a series of two wide waterfalls falling some 5-10m each. When we were there, we drew lots of attention being the only mzungus (non-blacks) in the area as apparently this place…

Kundalila Falls (sometimes spelled Nkundalila Falls) was a gorgeous waterfall set in the escarpment country of the Central Province near Serenje. It dropped in multiple stages over a cumulative…
