Chambeshi River

Encyclopedia : C : CH : CHA : Chambeshi River

The Chambeshi River (also known as the Chambezi River) is a river in northeastern Zambia. It is the furthest headstream of the Congo River in terms of length. However, in terms of volume of water, the Lualaba River is greater. The Chambeshi rises as a stream in the mountains of northeast Zambia near Lake Tanganyika at an elevation of 1760 metres above sea level. It flows for 480km into the Bangweulu Wetlands, which are part of Lake Bangweulu. The water then flows out of the wetlands as the Luapula River.
