Kasumbalesa is a Zambian border town in Chililabombwe District of the Copperbelt Province, facing the much larger town of the same name on the Congolese side of the frontier. It lies about 17 kilometres north of Chililabombwe, where the district headquarters are, just north-east of Konkola, and roughly 153.5 kilometres by road north-west of Ndola, the Copperbelt capital. The average elevation is about 1,392 metres. The crossing is one of the busiest between Zambia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, clearing more than 500 long-haul trucks a day in each direction, although the infrastructure on the Zambian side, including public toilets, was reported as lacking in 2019 and plans were under way for a larger truck parking yard, hotels and restaurants.
