Mankhamba
Archaeological site in Malawi
Mankhamba is an archaeological site in Malawi. It was the capital of the Maravi Empire. It was settled from around the 13th century and abandoned in the late-18th or early-19th century.
The capital of Mankhamba led a confederacy whose influence extended from the Indian Ocean of Mozambique to present-day Zambia, and from southern Tanzania to the Zambezi River valley.
