General Information

Sesheke is a border town in the Western Province of Zambia. It is situated on the northern bank of the Zambezi River which forms the border with Namibia's Caprivi Strip. Sesheke is split into two small towns situated on opposite sides of the Zambezi River.

The biggest part of the town is on the east side, reached by driving from Livingstone, or taking the pontoon over the river. The smaller western section of Sesheke town, is located next to the border with Namibia.

The Katima Mulilo Bridge, completed in May 2004, crosses the river at Sesheke, connecting the town with the Namibian town of Katima Mulilo. The roads in and around Sesheke have been upgraded making it easier for tourists to visit the areas. The improved roads have led to a boom of new lodges and other tourist facilities due to the increased number of tourists passing through Sesheke on their way to Victoria Falls, the Sioma Ngwezi National Park or to the upper Zambezi and Barotse Floodplain.

The recent boom has also increased rural-urban migration, for both the Sesheke District and the Caprivi Region, the growth of squatter camps is becoming a problem. Both areas still need to undertake much socio-economic growth in their respective countries.
