The Beach at Kasanga in Tanganyika as was. Kasanga was the next town up the east coast of Lake Tanganyika from Mpulungu.

Abercorn residents would visit this Arab settlement for its exotic atmosphere, so completely different from Northern Rhodesia. They would return with coconuts straight from the palm tree. These were the devil to de-husk. Photo: Dorothy van der Linde.
