You can get to Kasama by train or bus from Lusaka, Kapiri Mposhi and from Ndola. It is a very good base if you like to meet people and do day tours. Mbala is about 160 km away by road and there are many other places to visit just a couple of hours away. If you drive with the car coming from Kapiri don’t miss to camp at Shiwa Ngandu. I would suggest about 2 or 3 days. There is much to see but you have to walk and know where you go. Get a guide.

Chisimba Falls is not one of the big falls but worhtwhile to get of the trek and have a wander. Good walking shoes are recommendet as there are some steep and rocky areas. If you are not good with walking and a little bit of climbing stay at the weir and enjoy the views and surrounds, have a picknic and buy some nice things at the gate on your way out. The products are all locally produced. Enjoy the place and please keep it clean, it is a volotile area.
