The district stretches across the north-eastern and north-central parts of Western Province, adjoining [[North-Western Province, Zambia|North-Western Province]] and straddling the Zambezi and the northern Barotse Floodplain. The portion of the district west of the Zambezi is grassland and has no roads or towns, only dry season tracks to a few villages. It is rich in wildlife, the [[Liuwa Plain National Park]] extends into it from the south. East of the river the district is Miombo woodland and [[Ecoregions of Zambia#Cryptosepalum dry forests|Cryptosepalum dry forests]] with [[Ecoregions of Zambia#Zambezian flooded grasslands|Zambezian flooded grasslands]] adjacent to rivers. This part is served by a gravel road from [[Kaoma, Zambia|Kaoma]], and a gravel road to North-Western Province via the [[Kabompo Ferry]]. | |||
