Location
This small cave is located at 8°29'03,0° S - 038°52'53,2" E approximately 1 km NW of the town hall of Nandete in the Miyangalaya area (east of the Mbinga Hills).
Description
However, the just 13 m long and very narrow cave is developed entirely in sandstone by weathering processes or probably by a former horizon of slowly emerging ground water. It has a 3 m wide flat main entrance and a smaller second entrance to the left. The cave is dry and its floor is covered with sand.
