Introducing Chipata
Chipata is the primary town near the Zambian side of the border with Malawi, and a base from which to venture into the South Luangwa National Park. It’s lively and friendly, and boasts a large market (500m north of the town centre), as well as several bars, cafés, petrol stations and banks. There’s an internet café on Pererenyatwa Rd opposite the Finance Bank.
