Lake Iteji-Teji

Lake Iteji Teji is the second largest artificially created reservoir in Zambia. It was built in 1977 on the Cafue River.

Lake Iteji Teji is one of the attractions of Kafue National Park. On all sides it is surrounded by rocky shores. Its area is about 390 square meters.

There are many fish in the lake. Every year, a fishing contest is held at Iteji-Teji. Locals sell the fish to numerous visitors.

Iteji-Teji is an ideal place for the life of waterfowl, of which there are a lot. Herons, ducks build their nests here. Hippopotamuses graze on grassy banks, and huge crocodiles hide along the shores.

Tourists have a great opportunity to make a boat trip on the lake, enjoying the beauty of the local nature.

The power plant located on the lake provides energy to the entire adjacent territory.
