The Lugenda or Lujenda (alternate: Msambiti River)[1] is a river of northern Mozambique. It flows in a south-north direction from Lake Amaramba/Lake Chiuta and is the largest tributary of the Ruvuma River.[2] It joins the Luambala River at 13°26′12″S36°18′20″E / 13.43667°S 36.30556°E / -13.43667; 36.30556. The river valley is reported to be only 800 feet (240 m) above sea level.[3] North of Lake Chiuta, those on the west bank call it the Msambiti River.[1] At one point, the Lugenda splits into several streams with islands between them, some of whom are populated such as the island Achemponda.[4]

Elephants loom large in the life of people of the Lugenda River Valley. The tribal people, inhabiting the river valley for several thousand years, are mainly the Yao and Makua tribals. Other groups residing here are Ngoni, Marave and Matambwe people.[5]
