2. Driving in Lilongwe

Road Conditions

Though the main roads in Lilongwe are in good condition, it's a different story off the beaten track. Renting a 4x4 might be a wise choice if you plan to venture outside the city.

Traffic Rules and Speed Limits

Malawi drives on the left-hand side. The general speed limit in urban areas is usually 50 km/h, while on open roads it stretches up to 80 or 100 km/h. Be aware that traffic rules are strictly enforced in Malawi.

Parking

Parking is generally accessible in Lilongwe. Public parking lots can be found in city parks, near shopping centers, and marketplaces. It's advisable to secure all possessions as petty theft can occur in some areas.

3. Attractions in Lilongwe

Lilongwe Wildlife Trust

Don't miss out on visiting the Lilongwe Wildlife Trust, a sanctuary for rescued, threatened, and injured animals. This is a great place for family visits.

Old Town Mall

Experience authentic Malawian shopping in the Old Town Mall, a place where you can buy traditional crafts, have a taste of local food, or just mingle with local town folks.

4. Exploring Surrounding Areas

With your rental car, you can go beyond the city limits and explore surrounding cities and attractions. The stunning Lake Malawi, Kasungu National Park, and the Mount Mulanje are waiting to be discovered.

5. Climate and Currency

Lilongwe has a subtropical highland climate, which makes it cooler than most of Tropical Africa. The Malawian kwacha is the official currency, though U.S dollars and major credit cards are also widely accepted.
