Lufwanyama is a small town on the M18 road in the Copperbelt Province of Zambia.

This location lies approximately 105 kilometres (65 mi), by road, west of Kitwe, Zambia's second-largest city, by population.

Lufwanyama sits at an average elevation of 1,224 metres (4,016 ft), above sea level.

[2] Despite being only 65 miles (105 km), by road, west of the most urban and industrialised part of the country, the mining cities of the Copperbelt, Lufwanyama is underdeveloped and lacks infrastructure such as electricity, all-weather roads and hospitals.

Zambia National Commercial Bank, the largest financial services provider in the country, by assets, maintains a branch in the town.
