The chosen biotope is located in the Southwest part in the coastline belonging to Zambia, more specifically Cape Kaku. Cape Kaku is a small piece of land that juts out into the lake and that the characteristics of the topography of the coast, just a few meters down and the clarity of its waters make it a very special place for diving in an aquarium natural. As in other parts of the lake, here we find huge rocky outcrops, which like marine reefs are home to a diverse community of fish.
We also found piles of rocks zones of small and medium size where smaller species thrive exploit any crack to lay their eggs.
Near here is the Kasaba Bay, where wild catches eventually reach the shops around the world. It is within the limits of Sumbu National Park, in a sparsely populated area of Zambia.
