“One of kind, top tier spot in Mangochi”
The place is both scenic and well situated to amenities such as grocery stores, banks and service garages. The people are friendly and welcoming and getting around is fairly convient. Above all its the views of Muluzi Bridge over the Shire River, Zomba mountain, and the Queen Victoria monument that make this spot one of a kind.
