Lufubu River

The 883rd longest river in the world

km

The Lufubu River (also called the Lofu or Lovu) in the Northern Province of Zambia is the largest tributary entering the southern end of Lake Tanganyika. The river is a notable but under-exploited resource for Zambia's tourism and wildlife sectors, as well as those of Lake Tanganyika, dominating the environment and ecology of the southern part of Nsumbu National Park. Rapids just before its lower course isolate the upper river from the lake, producing a distinct fish fauna there.

Flows through: Zambia.
