Mafinga Central

Mafinga Central rises to 2,339 meters above sea level, forming the highest point of the Mafinga Hills with a prominence of 907 meters.

The mountain remained largely unexplored until 2014 when an international expedition team from the United Kingdom, Lithuania, and Malawi first documented its exact elevation.

The mountain range holds geographical significance for local communities who have traditionally utilized the surrounding lands for agriculture and grazing their livestock.

Access to the summit requires a four-wheel drive vehicle to reach the base, followed by a demanding hike through varied terrain and weather conditions.

The mountain serves as the source of the Luangwa River, which flows through eastern Zambia and supports numerous ecosystems along its course.
