The story

Festival de Lichinga in Lichinga

A city festival concept for Lichinga, the elevated capital of Niassa Province near Lake Niassa, though no independently confirmed recurring event under this exact name was located.

Lichinga stands apart from the postcard image of coastal Mozambique, perched at 1,360 meters on a plateau in the far northwest of the country, close enough to Lake Niassa, the Mozambican name for Lake Malawi, that the lake's fishing economy and the plateau's farming communities together shape provincial life.
