The Great North Road is a major route in Zambia, running north from Lusaka through Kabwe, Kapiri Mposhi (the road continues by way of a right turn just north of Kapiri Mposhi), Serenje, Mpika (where it makes a left turn), Kasama, Mbala and Mpulungu. 82km North of Mpika is a signposted right turn onto a well maintained gravel road leading to Shiwa Ng'andu (12km) and (32km). The road from Zambia's border with Zimbabwe at Chirundu to Lusaka is now regarded as being part of the Great North Road; but this is only since the opening of the Chirundu Bridge in 1939 - before that, the Great North Road ran from Livingstone to Lusaka, as part of the original Cape to Cairo Red Line by Cecil John Rhodes. The portion from Mbala to Mpulungu could be regarded as a spur linking to the Lake Tanganyika steam

  • Die Great North Road ist eine wichtige Fernstraße in Sambia, die von Lusaka nördlich nach Kapiri Mposhi, Mpika, Kasama, Mbala und Mpulungu führt. Historisch gesehen ist dies der sambische Streckenabschnitt der , die Cecil John Rhodes geplant hatte. In dieser Hinsicht ist auch die Straße von der Grenze zwischen Sambia und Simbabwe bei Chirundu nach Lusaka Teil der Great North Road, ebenso wie der Streckenabschnitt von Mbala nach Mupulungu als Fahrspur zum Dampferdienst auf dem Tanganjikasee angesehen werden kann, der bis in die 1950er-Jahre bei den Reisenden sehr geschätzt war.
