This place is 10 miles south-east of the Mbosi mission station in Rungwe (formerly Langenburg) district. The latitude and longitude are approximately 9°7′ S., 33°4′ E. The locality lies between Lakes Tanganyika and Nyasa, south of Lake Rukwa, and about 23 miles from the border of Northern Rhodesia.
