Kombomba

Kombomba lies in the Luwumbu basin, east of the Luangwa River. Traditions of the northern Senga recall Kambombo among the chiefs who crossed the Luangwa and settled in the country watered by the Luwumbu. From about 1780, Bisa-speaking migrants also entered the valley, where they encountered Tumbuka communities and contributed to the formation of new chiefdoms.
