Description
“Survey camp (F.W. Hardie 1907) Henga valley.” Exterior view of tents set up in open ground and two bicycles leaning against a tree, two men sitting at a camp table and two indigenous men crouching nearby. The Henga valley is fed by the South Rukuru River and situated in Northern Nyasaland [Malawi]. It was described as ‘the favourite resort of game and beasts of prey’ and was a fertile environment, changes in agricultural practices were developed in the early twentieth century. Livingstonia was situated close by and a number of attempts were made to introduce cash crops with varying degrees of success. Henga means ‘chief’ in some Bantu languages.
