Sesheke

The country around Sesheke forms part of the Kabompo basin in the northern reaches of the upper Zambezi. Grassy hollows break the wooded uplands, filling with water during the rains, while denser belts of trees follow the streams. The Kabompo gathers waters from the West Lunga and Dongwe before joining the Zambezi farther downstream. Across these tributary lands, stretches of open grass give way to miombo woodland and patches of evergreen forest. The contrast between the seasonally sodden hollows and the better-drained ridges marks the paths through this inland country.
