Chibombo

Eastern Africa

Chibombo is a town in the Central Province of Zambia and the headquarters of Chibombo District. According to its English Wikipedia article it lies near the Lukanga Swamp, 95 kilometres north of Lusaka and 45 kilometres south-west of Kabwe on the Great North Road. GeoNames records it as a populated place at about 14.657 degrees south and 28.071 degrees east. The article describes the Lukanga swamp as a wetland in central Zambia that has supported the indigenous people of the area for hundreds of years, and says that the people of Chibombo have built their livelihoods and cultural identities on the ecosystem services it provides. Because Zambia has no coastline, the town lies inland.
