Accessible off the back route between Kasanka and the Great North Rd, beautiful little Lake Waka-Waka has glassy, croc-free waters (though always check the situation locally before jumping in) encircled by miombo woodland.
To get Lake Waka-Waka, pass the Kasanka gates and take the turn-off to the Livingstone Memorial, but continue straight on for 35km, leaving the Livingstone Memorial road on your left.
