The Kabompo River is one of the main tributaries of the upper Zambezi River. It flows entirely in Zambia, rising to the east of the source of the Zambezi, in North-Western Province. It is rumoured to be the second deepest river in Africa and one of the top five in the world, although substantiated records of river depth are yet to be published.
