Mozambique is in east Africa. Mozambique's lanugage is Portuguese. Mozambique's environment is dessert, plenty of farming grass, and hut houses. Mozambique lies beside the Indian Ocean in southern Africa. On its borders lie South Africa and Zimbabwe in the south, and Zambia, Malawi and Tanzania in the north. About half the country is made up of flat coastal plain. Heading inland, the land rises and high plateaux and mountains run along the western and northern borders.

In Mozambique, everyone and everything is far from each other, and they walk for long ways. Some people do not have cars and horses, so people have a lot of patience for long walks.

Very little information is available about the culture and customs of the Nsenga. They depend largely on subsistence agriculture, similar to other peoples living along the Zambezi River. The Nsenga follow a greeting custom similar to the Shona and other peoples in the region. Rather than shaking hands, they place the open palms of the hands together, similar to a light, slow handclap. This may be accompanied by a slight dip or curtsy similar to obeisance.
