Malawi, Lilongwe, 20 – 24 May 2024

Lusaka to Lilongwe another short flight 1:10 hrs. I used the Yango app to call a taxi cost MWK 250 or US$10 which is half the price of the Airport taxis. There is an ATM at the Lilongwe airport but the maximum withdrawal was MWK 80,000 or US$45 and the Fee was 10,000 hahaha. The only time you need cash is for taxis otherwise you can use your card in most places. The Airport taxi into Lilongwe cost US$25 on the way back using the taxi driver I found on the EcoDrive app it cost 30,000 Kwacha or US$17 which according to the taxi driver is the standard fee.

Lilongwe – population 989,318, not a tourist destination. The only interesting thing I found was the Lilongwe Wildlife Centre which is in the heart of town and is a very nice walk through the forest alongside a river. I did not see any wildlife hahaha not even a bird which was strange. The whole place is surrounded by an electric fence to prevent poaching.
