Getting Around
Getting around Lilongwe is an adventure in itself. Taxis are readily available, especially around hotels and markets, but it's wise to agree on a fare beforehand. Shared taxis, known as 'combis,' are the most budget-friendly option, offering a true local experience as you navigate between the city's different areas. For more flexibility, consider hiring a car and driver for day trips or longer excursions. Walking is feasible within specific neighborhoods like the Old Town Market, but distances between key attractions can be considerable.
