Chinsali District with headquarters at Chinsali is located in Muchinga Province, Zambia.

It lies on the watershed between the

Zambezi basin. The north-eastern half of the district is relatively flat plateau, especially along the Chambeshi, of 1200–1300 m elevation but the south-western half has an attractive landscape of granite hills with an elevation of 1500–1600 m, where the country estate of Shiwa Ngandu is located.[needs update
]

Despite running along the edge of the upper Luangwa Valley, there is no road (Matumbo/Chama Road) access from the district to that valley and its national parks except with specially-licensed off-road tour companies.[citation needed]

As of the 2000 Zambian Census, the district had a population of 128,646 people.[1]
