'''Chilubi District''' with headquarters at [[Chilubi]] is located in [[Northern Province, Zambia]]. It covers the north-east [[Bangweulu Lake]] and [[Bangweulu swamps]] containing several islands including [[Chilubi Island]], and some of the mainland northeast of the lake. As of the 2000 Zambian Census, the district had a population of 66,338 people.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.statoids.com/yzm.html|title=Districts of Zambia|publisher=Statoids|accessdate=February 12, 2010}}</ref><br />
<br />
Like [[Samfya District]] most of it is lake or swamp, and the rest rural and less developed than Samfya, lacking roads and infrastructure. The only road connections for its mainland part is a dirt road from [[Luwingu]] in the north to [[Mofu]] and [[Chaba, Zambia|Chaba]]. Swamps of the Lukulu, [[Lubansenshi River|Lubansenshi]], and [[Chambeshi River|Chambeshi]] rivers cut the district off on its eastern side.<ref name="Google">[http://earth.google.com Google Earth] Shoreline measured at 1 km centres.</ref> Channels have been cut through the swamps in many places to aid navigation by boat. Since they share the lake and swamps, geographically Chilubi District has more in common with Samfya District in Luapula Province than it does with the rest of Northern Province. Most travellers leaving the district go by boat to Nsombo then by gravel road to [[Kasama, Zambia|Kasama]] via Luwingu, or by boat to Samfya then by all-weather road to [[Mansa, Zambia|Mansa]] or [[Serenje]]. <br />
<br />
Other islands in Chilubi District include [[Chichile]], [[Kasansa]], [[Panyo]] and [[Luangwa Island|Luangwa]], all at the edges of the swamps where they dry out sufficiently in the dry season to form a connection to the mainland.<ref name=DCS>[http://www.nrzam.org.uk/Site%20Resources/Bangweulu/Bangweulu.jpg NRZAM.org website: [[Directorate of Colonial Surveys]]: ''Map of Bangweulu Swamps'' (1952).] Accessed 24 April 2007.</ref><br />
<br />
[[Isangano National Park]] lies in the east of the district but it has no management and most of the wildlife has been poached out.<ref name="Spectrum">Camerapix: "Spectrum Guide to Zambia." Camerapix International Publishing, Nairobi, 1996.</ref><br />
