INSURANCE
Third-party insurance is a requirement for all drivers, but this can be arranged through
car-hire companies or purchased at border crossings.
ROAD RULES
Malawians drive on the left. Seat belts are compulsory. Speed limits are 80km per hour on
main roads and 60km in built-up areas.
Tour & Safari Companies
Several companies organise tours around the country, ranging from a few days to three
weeks. Trips into Zambia or Mozambique are also available. Most safaris are vehicle
based, although some outfits also organise walking trips, or boating on the lake. Tours
normally include transport, accommodation and food.
