The Luacano River (Rio Luacano) flows past the town to the west before entering the Kasai River, which forms the border between Moxico and Luanda Sul.[2] During negotiations over the border between the Belgian Congo and Portuguese Angola the Belgians pushed for making the Luacano River part of the border.[3]

Transport edit

In 2012, a long-awaited short cut between the Angola's Benguela Railway and the Zambian copper mines is being built. The short cut leaves the mainline east of Luacano.
