Mobile data in Malawi

Malawi is covered by Airtel with 4G in Lilongwe, Blantyre and the lakeshore towns — Cape Maclear, Nkhata Bay. Liwonde and the Nyika plateau have signal at the lodges and gaps on the drives.

  • Lake Malawi lodges at Cape Maclear have signal; kayak trips and the islands are quieter.
  • Nyika plateau and Mount Mulanje hikes are largely off-grid — download maps.
  • Cash (kwacha) is standard; cards in the lodges.
  • Power cuts affect the network; carry a power bank.
