Located in the southeastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) at the northern end of Lake Tanganyika and bordering Zambia and Tanzania, Kimpese (Pweto) is a border town in the northeastern part of Katanga Province (Haut-Katanga). Nestled on the edge of the African Rift Valley and surrounded by lakes, mountains and savannahs, the city boasts a unique natural landscape and is an important center of agriculture and fisheries in the region, growing crops such as maize and cassava and relying on Lake Tanganyika to develop its fishing economy. As a border area, Kimpet also serves as a regional trade hub, with relatively close trade and commerce with neighboring countries. Despite its relatively poor infrastructure, its rich natural resources and strategic location make it a potential for development in the eastern part of the DRC, and an important node for exploring the local natural and human landscape.
