Dwangwa River

The Dwangwa River in Malawi is a tributary river for Lake Nyasa. It flows for approximately 100 miles (160 km).^[1]

The river's source is in the Kasungu National Park, in Malawi's central plateau. It flows north-easterly from this plateau through an ancient valley. The river's mouth flows out of a more recently cut gorge, into the Lake.^[1]It also flows through the Bana Swamp

The Dwangwa River is used both for irrigation and the generation of hydroelectric power.^[2] It is a fishing river, with prawns found in the river. ^[3]
