The M11 begins in Choma (Capital city of the Southern Province), at a junction with the T1 Road (Lusaka-Livingstone Road). It begins by going northwards for 115 kilometres, meeting the D361 from Pemba and the D365 from Monze, to a settlement named Kabulamwanda, where the M11 turns westwards.

From Kabulamwanda, the M11 goes westwards for 52 kilometres to enter the town of Namwala on the southern bank of the Kafue River, where it forms the main road. From the Namwala town centre, the M11 goes west-south-west for 58 kilometres to reach its end at a junction with the D769 Road south of the Itezhi-Tezhi Dam in the south-eastern part of the Kafue National Park, with the D769 Road providing access to the town of Itezhi-Tezhi 25 kilometres to the north.
