Mansa

Situated in northern Zambia, near the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mansa is the capital of the Luapula Province. Taking its name from the pretty Mansa River, the town lies in an area of remarkable natural beauty. Hike to the enthralling Mumbuluma Falls, visit Lake Bangweulu, and enjoy swimming, fishing, and a variety of watersports. Cultural attractions include the excellent local market, the Mansa Catholic Cathedral, and others. The area is also known for its exquisite Citrine Quartz - make sure to take a look at some of the locally handcrafted jewellery.
