Nsanje is the main town in Nsanje District within the Southern Region of Malawi.

Transport

The town is the headquarters of Malawi Railways. A project is currently underway to dredge part of the Shire River in order to make sea transport to Malawi viable. Eventually the hope is that there will be a port in Nsanje connecting the Shire to the Zambezi River and finally to the Indian Ocean. As of mid 2008, little progress has been noted except for a "Nsanje Port" sign, and the usual government rhetoric.
