It was very ‘easy’ Africa. By this we mean that there was relatively little hassle and the people were friendly. The roads up to the Nyika Plateau and Vwaza Marsh are not great, but are passable with a 4×4. Incidentally, we did get stopped a lot by the police, but [...]
Mohamed Coach from Lilongwe to Dar Es Salaam
Posted: July 26, 2011 in border crossings, Lilongwe, TransportAnd never take the Mohamed Couch Bus Company from Lilongwe to Dar Es Salaam… the bus is old, and the drivers without any responsibility, they make no toilet-stops but they stop more than 20 hour on the border without telling anything (I discover that this is usual – because of business people trying to cross [...]

Posted: October 25, 2008 in Blantyre, Lilongwe, Liwonde National Park, Mulanje, Mzuzu, Transport, UncategorizedIt seemed to me that all hotels are B&B. While it’s certainly worth checking first, I never stayed in one that wasn’t, and the breakfast was never mentioned…they just assumed you knew. There’s a range of qualities–the 10,500K Mzuzu Lodge had 2 eggs as you like (including spanish omelets), sausage, a big chunk of baked tomato, potatoes, toast on request [...]
