Lufwanyama is a small town on the M18 road in the Copperbelt Province of Zambia.
The town lies in Lufwanyama District in the Copperbelt Province. This location lies approximately 105km (65miles), by road, west of Kitwe, Zambia's second-largest city, by population.[1] The town lies close to the Lufwanyama River which flows from north to south, about 70km (40miles) west of Kitwe and enters the Kafue River. Lufwanyama sits at an average elevation of 1224m (4,016feet), above sea level.[2]
Despite being only 65miles, 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.[3]
