<div id="ygrps-yiv-2115521229">My maps (National Geographic Society and Microsoft Streets & Trips) show this as <br/>
a penenclave, but attached to the rest of Zambia.  The MWZM (Malawi-Zambia) and <br/>
MWMZ (Malawi-Mozambique) boundaries appear to follow a drainage divide.  The <br/>
MZZM (Mozambique-Zambia) boundary is a diagonal line that intersects the divide. <br/>
About 11.5 miles WSW of the tripoint along the diagonal line, the divide wanders <br/>
within slightly over one mile of the diagonal.  The NGS map shows the main road <br/>
between Lilongwe, the capital of Malawi, and the Malawian town of Mchinji <br/>
passing through this Zambian penenclave.  None of my maps show the lake that <br/>
yours seems to.  Since the area is on a drainage divide, I tend to doubt the <br/>
existence of a lake.<br/>

On-line, you can see the penenclave on the a map of the Central East African <br/>

&gt;<br/>
&gt; I posted a small portion of a map of the area w. of Llongwe, Malawi in<br/>
&gt; the photos library here(not in any folder) - it appears that there is<br/>
&gt; detached piece of Zambia inside Malawi on the SE side of a very little<br/>
&gt; lake on the border.<br/>
&gt; Anyone have a better map of this corner?<br/>
&gt; Tnx<br/>
