I looked up where this area is.

The Lisima plateau is a remote and ecologically significant highland area in eastern Angola, specifically within Moxico Province Europe Says+1. It lies in the Angolan Highlands Water Tower, a vast watershed that separates river systems flowing north (such as the Cuanza and Cassai) from those flowing south into the Greater Kalahari Sand Basin Restor.

Geographically, the plateau is part of the central and southeastern Angolan highlands, situated south and alongside the Great Equatorial Divide Restor. This divide is one of Africa’s largest watersheds, and the Lisima area feeds four major African river systems — the Congo, Okavango, Zambezi, and Cuanza — whose waters eventually reach ecosystems like the UNESCO-listed Okavango Delta Hiru News+1.

The region is characterized by wetlands, grasslands, and miombo woodlands, with peat-rich floodplains and deep layers of Kalahari sand influencing its hydrology Restor. Its remoteness, combined with Angola’s long civil war and landmine hazards, has kept it largely uncharted by science until recent expeditions Hiru News+1.

In summary: The Lisima plateau is in eastern Angola’s Moxico Province, within the Angolan Highlands Water Tower, and is a critical source area for four major African rivers.
