Populated place in Luapula Province, Zambia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kashikishi is a town on the south-eastern shore of Lake Mweru in the Luapula Province of Zambia.[1] It lies just north of the district headquarters Nchelenge, and close enough for them to be considered twin towns; they are sometimes referred to as Nchelenge–Kashikishi.

The principal highway of the Luapula Province ends its tarred surface at Nchelenge-Kashikishi,[1] providing good communication southwards with Mansa and Serenje. Northwards a dirt road continues to Chiengi and Zambia's border with DR Congo.[1]
As of 1976, Kashikishi had a population of approximately 1,500.[2]: 1
