Lake Kisale

Lake Kisale lies among the marshes and lakes of the Upemba Depression, a low basin crossed by the Lualaba. It is one of a chain of lakes stretching north from Lake Upemba, amid wetlands that expand and contract with the seasons. Archaeological remains at Sanga, on the shores of Kisale, bear witness to communities that lived beside these waters long before the rise of the Luba kingdom.
