Senanga

Senanga is the capital of Senanga District in the Western Province of Zambia, on the eastern bank of the Zambezi River at the southern end of the Barotse Floodplain. It lies on the main road that runs beside the river from Livingstone and Sesheke to Mongu, and recent road projects on the Mongu and Sesheke roads and the new Kaunga Lyeti Bridge have improved travel. The river and floodplain bring wildlife and fishing, and the town is a base for fishing tours; it is about 120 kilometres from Sioma Ngwezi National Park and about 80 kilometres from Ngonye Falls. Each year it hosts the Zambia Sport Fishing Competition, although illegal fishing is damaging breeding grounds of nembwe, tigerfish and slidejaw. A tall radio mast is a landmark, and Kelowna in Canada is a sister city.
