One of the most-photographed bits of Malawi: the east end of Thumbi West Island at Cape Maclear.
Mumbo Island can be seen on the distance at right.

Closeup of the southeast corner of Thumbi West Island

Cape Maclear from the hill behind Otter Point, looking NNW. Domwe Island is the large island at right; the Ilala Gap
is just out of sight behind the bush. Technically, Cape Maclear is the far tip of Domwe. Thumbi Island West is the near one in the
middle. Follow left where Thumbi is pointing; that's Mumbo Island. Above Mumbo, just below the horizon, the Maleri Islands are dimly visible.
