“The ideal landing spot when arriving in Lilongwe.”
A very nice secure place to stay provided by super host Joy! She really looked after me, making sure I got to the ATM on my arrival to then sorting me out at the bus station for a transfer to Monkey Bay.

“Cosy house with garden. No restaurants nearby.”
Location hard to find. Buy Airtel SIM card at airport and ask hostess to send you the location.

Joy is really welcoming and accommodating, and helped me find transport options both days. There are often power cuts in Lilongwe, but Joy has solar power for lights and charging phones. The property is in a quiet area, with a lovely garden and common areas. There was a mosquito net.
