Mongu lies at the end of the 610-km Great West Road from Lusaka which takes takes 6–8 hours to drive. An ambitious plan to extend the road west to Kalabo by building the 46-km Barotse Floodplain causeway has stalled due to technical and funding problems, with the embankments mostly in place but not paved and finished.

The city is known for basket and carpet weaving. It produces the best mango and fish in the country, especially the tiger fish. Mongu is also the major rice growing region of Zambia.

It is also home to a cathedral
