The Kalungwishi River has its source in the central part of Lunte District in Northern Province. It flows westwards to its confluence with the Ngona River, its tributary. From there it flows north-westwards, forming part of the boundary between Kawambwa District in Luapula Province and Lunte District.
The river defines the boundaries between Kawambwa and Mporokoso District in Northern Province, Kawambwa and Kaputa District in Northern Province, Nchelenge District in Luapula Province and Kaputa District. It finally flows through the village of Mununga, which it divides into two, in Chienge District and into Lake Mweru.
There are four waterfalls on the Kalungwishi River. The Mbulumatuto, Lumangwe, Kabwelume and Kundabwika Falls all lie on the boundary between Luapula and Northern provinces.
