Nkhotakota, Malawi

Displayed:   times.

Nkhotakota is another place to stay. For much of the 19 century it was the centre of slave trading, with as many as 20,000 slaves being shipped over the lake into Tanzania every year. This was only finally stopped in the 1890's when Dr Livingstone met with Jumbe, the local chief and persuaded him to sign a treaty abandoning the slave trade. There are several resthouses to stay in within the town. There is little to see in this region but venturing inland takes you through Grand etang forest reserve. Salima is located inland approx 20kms from the lake, it is the closest town to Bay of Kotor where there are several beach lodges along the lakeshore. More info on: www.world66.com
