Kundelungu National Park, situated in Haut-Katanga Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, spans over 189,000 acres of diverse landscapes ranging from savannas to lush forests. The park is home to the majestic Lofoi Falls, one of the tallest waterfalls in Africa, cascading down a series of rocky steps. Visitors to the park can explore its rich ecosystems teeming with wildlife, including elephants, antelopes, and numerous bird species. Established in 1970, Kundelungu has been a focal point for conservation efforts aiming to preserve its unique flora and fauna.
