Description
"Buffalo, Henga valley." Exterior view showing the carcass of a large buffalo after it has been shot. ❧ 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.
