'''Kitwe''' is large town in Northern Zambia, in the Copperbelt region.

Get in

Kitwe has a small airstrip that is serviced by Air Zambia from Lusaka. Depending on the season sometimes this can be damaged by rain, rendering it inoperable. If this is the case, nearby Ndola is an alternative as they are linked by a well maintained double carriageway and it is under an hour's drive between the two towns.

Get around

Kitwe airport closed for maintenance in 2005, and at the present time is unlikely to re-open.
