The Ntumbachushi falls are located on Ngosa River in Kawambwa District. The falls can easily be accessed from Nchelenge and Mansa in Luapula province.

Over time, the Ntumbachushi Falls has attained an important bearing on the Lunda and Chishinga people of Luapula province. They are a powerful shrine for both tribes. History reveals that Mwata Kazembe Chinyanta Munona VI of the Lunda people fell in love with his brother’s wife and married her. As compensation for the beautiful woman, he gave his brother the land around the falls and beyond, and this became the boundary of the Lunda people.

Legend has it that the waters of the Ng’ona River were used for bathing chiefs before being installed on the throne to cleanse them of bad luck and misfortune.
