It rises in the western watershed of Malaŵiās central plateau and flows in a northeasterly direction for about 100 miles (160 km) until it enters the lake. The riverās upper reaches exhibit ancient broad valleys and meanders, while the gorge cut for the riverās descent to the lake is narrow and recent. Dwangwaās drainage into Lake Nyasa occupies a flat swampy area 25 miles (40 km) north of Nkhotakota.
