Other islands in Chilubi District include Chichile, Kasansa, Panyo Island and Luangwa, all at the edges of the swamps where they dry out sufficiently in the dry season to form a connection to the mainland.Map of Bangweulu Swamps, NRZAM.org, Directorate of Colonial Surveys, (1952).

Isangano National Park lies in the east of the district but it has no management and most of the wildlife has been poached out.Camerapix: "Spectrum Guide to Zambia." Camerapix International Publishing, Nairobi, 1996.
