Pigmented engravings on the rock walls of a stone age shelter beside a set of rapids on the Kifubwa River, believed to be associated with late age hunter gatherer populations, carbon dated to be about 6000 years old.
Kind of like a cascade or rapid as opposed to a waterfall and more than likely underwhelming if you come here from Victoria Falls, but still picturesque. You can stay here at the Mutanda Nature Lodge, or just a few km away is another cascade on the Mutanda River where you can sit and dine at Georgies Bar & Grill.
Really comfortable and savory dining. But you have to have a Kanshansi Golf Club card to make purchases; establishment doesn't take cash. You may see wildlife such as ibex on the greens while eating.
