Lake Ishiba Ng'andu is a picturesque lake very close to the watershed between the
Luangwa and
Chambeshi River basins in the
Northern Province of
Zambia, and just on the Chambeshi side. Its name in the Bemba language means 'lake of the royal crocodile'. Though small by central African standards, being about 5 km long and up to 1.5 km wide, it is widely known locally and, more recently, internationally.
