Mansa is the capital of Zambia's Luapula Province, the seat of provincial administration, and one of the larger urban centres of the country. GeoNames places it at about 11.200 degrees south and 28.894 degrees east. The census of 18 August 2022 counted 170,965 people there, compared with 78,153 at the census of 16 October 2010. City Population compiled that 2022 figure from ward figures of the Central Statistical Office of Zambia. It was formerly known as Fort Rosebery, a name GeoNames still lists among its alternate names. The SRTM 90 metre elevation model gives about 1215 metres above sea level at its coordinates, which is highland terrain, and because Zambia has no coastline the settlement lies inland.
