Lake Zimbambo

Lake Zimbambo is a lake in the Malemba-Nkulu Territory of Haut-Lomami Province, in the southern Democratic Republic of the Congo.

It is one of the lakes in the Upemba Depression, an extensive marshy area.

The Lualaba River enters the depression about 40 km after leaving Lake Delcommune.

The depression is a trough-like graben about 400 km long and 100 km wide, running from the southwest to the northeast. The trough is about 1000 m above sea level at its southwest end, sloping steeply down to an elevation of 610 m, where it flattens out and is filled by lakes and marshes for a distance of 225 km in a belt that is 37 km wide on average.

The river generally flows through the marshes between the lakes, to which it is connected by narrow channels.
