Siavonga

Eastern Africa

Siavonga is a settlement in Zambia's Southern Province, recorded by GeoNames as a populated place and counted as an urban area in the national census. GeoNames places it at about 16.538 degrees south and 28.709 degrees east. The census of 18 August 2022 counted 26,951 people there, compared with 11,832 at the census of 16 October 2010. City Population compiled that 2022 figure from ward figures of the Central Statistical Office of Zambia. GeoNames records Chapvonga as an alternate form of the name. The SRTM 90 metre elevation model gives about 521 metres above sea level at its coordinates, which is highland terrain, and because Zambia has no coastline the settlement lies inland.
