		The Great Bangweulu Basin, incorporating the vast Bangweulu Lake and a massive wetland area lies in a shallow depression in the centre of an ancient cratonic platform, the North Zambian Plateau.

		The higher ground surrounding the Bangweulu is dominated by miombo woodland intersected by numerous dambos.
