The Makololo had once dispossessed the Batoka of Kalunda, but we could not see the fissure, or whatever it is, that rendered it a place of security, as it was on the southern bank. The crack of the Great Falls was here continued: the rocks are the same as further up, but perhaps less weather-worn and now partially stratified in great thick masses.
It is built on a ridge of loose red soil, which produces great crops of mapira and ground-nuts; many magnificent mosibe-trees stand near the village. Machimisi, the headman of the village, possesses a herd of cattle and a large heart; he kept us company for a couple of days to guide us on our way. We had heard a good deal of a stronghold some miles below the Falls, called Kalunda.
Our return path was much nearer the Zambesi than that of our ascent, in fact, as near as the rough country would allow, but we left it twice before we reached Sinamane's, in order to see Kalunda and a Fall called Moomba, or Moamba.
