This is an important and busy little town acting as the gateway to South Luangwa and as a border town before Malawi. Visitors can make use of the Barclays Bank, supermarkets and a post office.
Chipata is only 1½ hour's drive from Lilongwe in Malawi and there is a steady stream of people and transport bringing in supplies that are not always readily available elsewhere in Zambia. You will also find colourful fruit and vegetable markets and an unexpected amount of ornate mosques due to its large Indian community.
