Mere Mere

Mere Mere belongs to the country of the Ushi between Lake Bangweulu and the Luapula River. Here the great lake basin gives way to the river that carries its waters towards Lake Mweru. The shores are part of a broad wetland landscape, with shallow water, grassy floodplains and wooded ground beyond. Seasonal flooding changes the shape of the lake's margins, while the Luapula links Bangweulu to the wider Congo river system.
