Kasaba Bay is located on southern tip of Lake Tanganyika, in northern Zambia, and part of the Sumbu National Park (Game Reserve).
Until the late 1960s Kasaba Bay was accessible only by air, or boat from Mpulungu, and catered to wealthy and international visitors. The Mporokoso District authorities had a humble guesthouse at Sumbu Bay, reached by a gravel road from Mporokoso. In the early 1970s this road was connected to Kasaba Bay Lodge, and a new lodge was built at Nkamba Bay.
