Longamo

Longamo stands in the rolling country around Mpongwe, on the central African plateau. The Kafulafuta, Mpongwe and Ibenga are among the rivers crossing this upland before their waters reach the Kafue system. Weathered limestone underlies much of the level country, while isolated resistant rocks form hills such as Kanyenda Ridge to the north. Shallow grassy depressions known as dambos interrupt the higher ground.

The later city of Kitwe lies nearby.
