Chizumulu Island
Chizumulu Island is the smaller of two inhabited islands in Lake Malawi/Lake Nyasa, the larger being the nearby Likoma island which together make up the Likoma District. Both these islands lie just a few kilometres from Mozambique, and are entirely surrounded by Mozambican territorial waters, but belong to Malawi. They are therefore exclaves of Malawi.
These are some bigger and more relevant cities in the wider vivinity of Mtawa.
