The craggy ledges of Maswa Point lie between the Kirando and Lubengela villages.
The bay in which Lubengela is located was known to Moore as Maswa.

Adjacent to Kirando village are the whitish rocks of Maswa. In crevices on the barren vertical wall of rocks grow plenty
of Aloe plants. On top of the cliffs a cassava field is spreading out. The picture was captured in December 2007.

in the middle of a raging inferno with heavy winds and downpour.
