This river flows in a north-western direction cutting through the Great Dyke before it joins the Manyame River. The substratum at the sites was composed of bedrock, cobbles and gravel, and the riparian vegetation was mainly Syzygium Gaertner, 1788 and Phragmites Adanson, 1763. It co-occurred with native fish species that include Labeo cylindricus Peters, 1852, Opsaridium zambezense (Peters, 1852), Enteromius trimaculatus (Peters, 1852), Tilapia sparrmanii Smith, 1840, Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822), and Labeobarbus marequensis (Smith, 1841) as well as the non-native species Serranochromis jallae (Boulenger, 1896) and Micropterus salmoides (Lacepède, 1802) (Ref. 130906).
