Mwaka Bay, Cape Mpimbwe, Lake Tanganyika, Tanzania
Mwaka Bay at the northern side of Korongwe Bay.
Mwaka in 1997, a pristine rocky coastline unmarked by human ambition. This is the small habitat of Tropheus sp. “Mpimbwe” (“Yellow Cheek”), extending 1 km only, from Mwaka towards Kafwila Village. The rocks are giving way to a sandy bottom in quite shallow water which further limits the rocky habitat.
