Tchafolonguta

Tchafolonguta lies beside the lower Luapula, south of Lake Mweru. Here the river broadens as it approaches the lake, flowing through a great floodplain dotted with lagoons. In the high-water season the Luapula spreads beyond its banks, leaving only higher patches dry amid the marshes. The lake receives these waters before they continue north-westward along the Luvua.
