evidence: Mbamba Bay is a small town that is the southern-most port of Tanzania on Lake Nyassa (Tanzania's name for Lake Malawi). It is one of the few locations on the lake in Tanzania that is reachable by public bus and has basic tourist infrastructure. In contrast to what some popular guide books suggest, Mbamba Bay is not the end of the world. The road linking Mbamba Bay to the highland town of Mbinga has recently (2021) received a huge upgrade, and is now smooth tarmac, greatly reducing travel time. The A19 is now a continuous smooth road from Mbamba Bay all the way to Mtwara. Most of the town has electricity now, and local food, fruits, drinks, and supplies are widely available.
