Transit town in Zambia's Muchinga Province where the Great North Road (Tanzam Highway) meets the route north toward Kasama and Mbala, with a TAZARA Railway station a short distance from the centre. The town sits between the Muchinga Escarpment to the east and open miombo plains to the west, making it a practical base for travellers moving between Lusaka and Dar es Salaam.
