Kitwe Tourism

Kitwe is a bustling industrial city located in the northern part of Zambia and in the South-Central part of Africa. It is one of the most developed commercial centres in the country that is a collection of small cityships and several suburban areas.

Due to the city being primarily an industrial centre in the copper belt, there is little natural beauty that you can enjoy here. However, on the outskirts of Kitwe, you can drive through vast stretches of grassland, see waterfalls and mountains in the distance and enjoy picnics in the manicured gardens that are built all over the city.

While the copper mines in the city are interesting places to visit, you can learn more about the development and history of this city in the local museums and galleries. You can also visit the famous Chembe Bird Sanctuary and the Mindolo Dam, which are some of the best places to visit in Zambia.

The serene natural beauty in the outskirts of Kitwe allows you to enjoy birdwatching, picnics, treks and hikes in the grassy terrain. Exploring the beautiful Nkana Mines, which is the main activity of the cityspeople is also an interesting activity to indulge in. You can also engage in several watersports such as boating, swimming and jet skiing when in Kitwe.

Kitwe experiences subtropical humid weather throughout the year. It is generally warm throughout the year, with intense monsoons and dry winter seasons.
