What to do in Ndola
Dag Hammarskjöld
Former United Nations leader, Dag Hammarskjöld, was in a plane crash over Ndola, Zambia in 1961. Because the plane crash is such a mystery and very few made it out alive, the crash site has become a memorial site. Dag Hammarskjöld’s mission was said to be a peace mission and so the memorial site is in honour of his journey. A classic historical experience!
Lake Kashiba
Lake Kashiba is located in Ndola and is best known as being the best known of the several “sunken lakes” in the area. The lake exists among many deep pools that were formed through water erosion and of these pools, Lake Kashiba is the most impressive to passers-by. No one has ever reached the bottom of the lake and so the depth is unknown. Lake Kashiba is a mystery and an attraction all in one!
