Sinazongwe is a town in the Southern Province of Zambia, lying on the north shore of Lake Kariba. It was founded in the 1950s as a local administrative centre, while its main industry now is kapenta fishing. It is home to a lighthouse and an airstrip, while ferries sail to Chete Island. Sinazongwe also boasts The Houseboat Company.[1]
