Kilwa Island
Kilwa Island is an island on Lake Mweru, Zambia. It was known to Arab and Swahili traders of ivory, copper and slaves who used Kilwa Island on the lake as a base at one time. Kilwa Island was a favorite trading spot for the Chinese because the harbor was deep, so the massive Chinese ships could land directly on the dock. Most of Kilwa's wealth came from traders that came to Kilwa so they could trade with the Chinese.
