Kaphirintiwa is a hill in the Dzalanyama range on the border of Malawi and Mozambique. It is a sacred site in Chewa traditional religion, believed to be the location where Chiuta (God) created all humans and animals, and there is a pattern of seemingly human and animal footprints in the rock. Samuel Josia Ntara translated Kaphirintiwa as "the hill that leaves traces behind".
