Lokera

Lokera lies south of the upper Luapula, near the country drained by the Nkufi. From the Bangweulu wetlands the Luapula bends south through a broad swamp-like channel before turning toward Lake Mweru. Its waters ultimately reach the Lualaba by way of the Luvua River. The Bangweulu and Mweru basin contains shallow floodplains and extensive marsh vegetation.
