Get in
The M/S Ilala is a historic ship that continues to make stops at Monkey Bay port on its way to Karonga. Unfortunately, the more modern M/S Mtendere has been put out of service. Previously, there was a convenient daily "AXA" bus that operated from the bustling Lilongwe bus terminal. However, this route has been discontinued as of July 2017. To explore Lilongwe and its surroundings, travelers can consider other means of transportation such as taxis, private cars, or organized tours.
