Lunsemfwa River

It is a popular river for fishing, containing large populations of tigerfish and bream.

It is used to generate hydroelectric power for the Kabwe mines through the Mita Hills Dam, built in the 1950s with a reservoir about 30 kilometres (19 mi) long by 3 to 5 kilometres (1.9 to 3.1 mi) wide, and another power station at Lunsemfwa Falls.

[citation needed] About 30 kilometres (19 mi) below the dam it enters a remote and inaccessible gorge which it has cut back into the plateau from the edge of the Luangwa Rift Valley into which it flows.

A viewpoint called Bell Point overlooks the confluence of the Lunsemfwa and its tributary the Mkushi River, about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) along the gorge, and can be reached on a dirt track.

It flows to the middle of the valley and turns east as a meandering river with oxbow lakes and a floodplain 1 to 2 kilometres (0.6 to 1.2 mi) wide.
