Nkhotakota
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nkhotakota (sometimes Kota Kota), population 19,262 (1998), is a town in the Central Region of Malawi, on the shore of Lake Malawi. As of 1997 its facilities included a hotel, two hospitals and a banking agent.
David Livingstone describes a visit to the area in The Zambezi Expedition, and a particular tree in the town is often identified as that under which he met Juma.
We arrived at Kota-kota Bay in the afternoon of the 10th September, 1863; and sat down under a magnificent wild fig-tree with leaves ten inches long, by five broad, about a quarter of a mile from the village of Juma ben Saidi, and Yakobe ben Arame... We had rested but a short time when Juma, who is evidently the chief person here, followed by about fifty people, came to salute us.
