It lies on the watershed between the Chambeshi River in the Congo Basin and the Luangwa River in the Zambezi basin. The north-eastern half of the district is relatively flat plateau, especially along the Chambeshi, of 1200–1300 m elevation but the south-western half has an attractive landscape of granite hills with an elevation of 1500–1600 m, where the country estate of Shiwa Ngandu is located.[needs update]
Despite running along the edge of the upper Luangwa Valley, there is no road (Matumbo/Chama Road) access from the district to that valley and its national parks except with specially-licensed off-road tour companies.[citation needed]
As of the 2000 Zambian Census, the district had a population of 128,646 people.[1]
