Kalambo Waterfalls in Tanzania.
Kalambo Falls is said to be Africa Second tallest free-leaping or single-drop waterfall (second to one of the tiers of Tugela Falls in South Africa) at 221m. Morever, it is also Zambia's other cross-border waterfall(Victoria Falls Shared between Zambia and Zimbabwe being the more famous one) as it's shared with Tanzania.As a matter of fact, the Kalambo River defines the Tanzania-Zambia border all the way into the vast Lake Tanganyika, which itself is shared by a foursome of Countries(i.e.Democratic of Congo, Burundi, Zambia and Tanzania).
The waterfall is in high flow in the may/june timeframe.But this depends on how much rainfall the region gets during its rainy season from january through April.The flow diminishes as the year progresses. Come around October or November and the falls probably won't look impressive.However, under these conditions, we have been told that you could stand a top the falls with one foot in Tanzania and one foot in Zambia.
It is located on the Kalambo River, it is a 772 feet single drop waterfall on the border with Zambia at the Southeast end of Lake Tanganyika.
