Chavuma is a town in the North-Western Province of Zambia, on the Zambezi River immediately south of the border with Angola. It lies approximately 1,100 kilometres from Lusaka, the capital of Zambia, and 11 kilometres from the Angolan border town of Kalipande. Local attractions include the Chavuma Falls, and a market is held on the border that lets people from both countries trade across it, which makes the town a meeting point for traders from both sides.
