Transportation

There are three choices for bus travel in Malawi. Shire Bus Lines operates a premium Coachline that runs three times a day between Blantyre and Lilongwe. A daily express bus service that travels via Lilongwe and Mzuzu could serve as a mode of transportation for guests traveling in and around Malawi. Shire Bus Lines also operates an express bus service with a few stops between major towns.

Bus service in remote locations is typically infrequent; in certain cases, no buses travel through. Locals and tourists alike use a matola, which is a truck or pick-up, to get around.

Malawi's principal highways are mostly high-quality roads that have been renovated in recent years. The roads in rural areas are in worse shape, and they are impassable during the rainy season. A car rental service is available to visitors. For driving and renting a car in Malawi, you must have a complete driver's license and be at least 23 years old.

Your transportation needs between places will be taken care of by one of the Siyabona Africa advisors if you select a Siyabona Africa holiday package.
