The Lofoi Falls (also known as the Chutes Kaloba and the Chutes Lofoi) is a waterfall in Kundelungu National Park, Katanga Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Plunging down for an unbroken 340 m, it is one of the largest waterfalls in Central Africa.{{Cite book|title=Natural Wonders of the World|publisher=Reader's Digest Association, Inc|year=1980|isbn=0-89577-087-3|editor-last=Scheffel|editor-first=Richard L.|location=United States of America|pages=217|editor-last2=Wernet|editor-first2=Susan J.}} The waters of the Lofoi are a tributary of the Lufira River. The falls shrink quite a bit during the drier season of June to October, but are quite dramatic during the rest of the year.{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=sj9mDQAAQBAJ&dq=lofoi+falls&pg=PA386|title=Historical Dictionary of the Democratic Republic of the Congo|last=Kisangani|first=Emizet Francois|date=2016-11-18|publisher=Rowman & Littlefield|isbn=9781442273160|language=en}}
