Sinazongwe is a town in the Southern Province of Zambia, lying on the north shore of Lake Kariba. It was founded in the 1950s as a local administrative centre, and its main industry now is kapenta fishing. It has a lighthouse and an airstrip, and ferries sail to Chete Island. It is reached by tarred road from Batoka, which lies between Pemba and Choma, and by 17 kilometres of gravel road just outside Sinazeze town; the nearest airstrip is about 6 kilometres away. The nearest large hospital is at Maamba, about a 40-minute drive, though the town has a small hospital and a local clinic of its own.
