Kabompo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kabompo is a town in western Zambia, lying on the Kabompo River and the M8 road. It is surrounded by teak forest and is home to a Roman Catholic mission.

Its most significant activity is probably the production of honey.

Kabompo House, No. J11a, Kabompo Township, to which Kenneth Kaunda (first president of post independence Zambia) was restricted by the Colonial authorities from March to July 1959 is a noted national monument.

There is an interesting cable ferry across the Kabompo River 80 km to the south-east.
