Ishiba Ng'Andu Nature Reserve

Surrounding the Lake Shiwa Ngandu, Ishiba Ng’Andu Nature Reserve offers a landscape of hills, lush tropical vegetation and ancient archaeological sites. Relax in the warm bubbles of the Kapishya natural hot spring, picnic on its white sands or watch where it becomes the glorious Chusa Falls, plummeting down into rapids which provide a perfect spot for rafting. Hikers can take the three-hour climb up Nachipala Bareback Hill to see unrivalled vistas of Lake Shiwa Ngandu, where later they can enjoy a range of boat tours for some excellent birdwatching and fishing. Visit an iron age archaeological site, visit the local farms, explore the area on horseback, or go searching for a glimpse of the rare Sitatunga antelope and tiny Blue Duiker.
