Our first experience was in Mzuzu and we were stuck in the town for sometime but we eventually were able to get some money. This remained the experience throughout Malawi and it is very very important to plan and budget well otherwise you ran out of cash and fuel with no access. We were not able to pay for fuel using the cards at all and the only place we used the card was in Shoprite supermarket at Mzuzu and Lilongwe. There are some hotels along lake Malawi but we do not have the data at all.

We never checked for hotels while planning our stay in Malawi. Reason being, they are beyond our budget. However, there are many lovely backpackers along Lake Malawi all the way from the North to South Malawi. Very affordable, awesome community and just the traveler heaven.
We have used dormitories, rooms with shared bathrooms as well as rooms with private showers. You can never compare the prices to those of hotels whatever choice you make. Backpackers are way cheaper and are just the perfect community, amazing family set up and the best way to meet people, make friends, exchange information about travel and have an absolutely good time. We have made friends and continued to travel together. Some for a couple of places and others a couple of countries.
It extends down to the lake. You have rooms and bathrooms on the cliff and down at the lake there is a nice bar with the most amazing music. Not forgetting the reception right in the middle and the kitchen with very delicious breakfast. The pub is managed by young guys with an incredible collection of good music from all around the world. We actually borrowed some and they gladly shared. You also get to play a game of pool and Bao with them.
Your nights will be spent listening to the sound of the waters of Lake Malawi hitting the stones as if to sing a lullaby for everyone. The bathrooms and toilets are all compost since you can not build septic tanks on the cliff and they are eco friendly as they are keen on maintaining a clean lake and environment. We traveled down with our friends from Hakuna Matata and made new friends at Butterfly space. We had some really fun nights at this camp till we extended our stay.
We spent one night at Kande beach. We were unfortunate to be there when there were no other guests. Its really popular for over-landing trucks. A relatively modern camp. The road to the camp from the main road is mostly deep sand. If riding, please make sure you have the right tires. Otherwise, you will make it, we did.

There are en-suit rooms, dormitories and camping available both own tent and their tent. Talk of attention to details everywhere, this place has every bit of it well thought for your comfort. Very very beautiful we must say. Samantha runs a number of community projects and has volunteers coming in from all over the world. The most amazing bit is that if you are staying there and would like to volunteer for a day or more, that is possible and very welcome. We decided to take a day and just volunteer. We ended up having such a great time with everyone and learning so much.
We made more friends and loved this place a lot. Our stay in Malawi was sadly coming to an end. Lilongwe was going to be our last town and stay in Malawi. We were here for two nights and stayed in a en-suit room. When we called to book, we were given the price of 30 USD per night but we got charged USD 45 a night which we were not happy about.
The backpackers is conveniently located walking distance to town. We were able to walk to the shopping mall and do our shopping. There is a swimming pool, self catering, restaurant and a bar. We made the most friends in Malawi and have continued traveling together. Malawi is beautiful, incredible, indeed the warm heart of Africa and the connection country. We loved Malawi, we left filled with so much love from everyone we met and we now have a big loving fun family. We are looking forward to answering many questions because we know yo are already planning your trip to Malawi.
This post is going to include Zanzibar too. We left Kigali at around 9: We arrived at the border around We had lost some time on the stretch between Kayonza and Rusumo due to the bad roads, however, we were still in good time for Kahama if we got cleared in good time. The border was relatively busy as we arrived with a few other groups of over landers.
We got our way to the Rwanda section for exit stamps and clearing the bikes with the customs. This was pretty easy and fast. We were done within no time. Next was Tanzania immigration for the entry. Entering Tanzania was different. First, they scan everything, by this we mean, you have to pass through the scanner for body scanning, then bring your luggage for scanning before going to the immigration.
This process takes time and depends on how many people you find and their amount of luggage. We had to off load our dry bags to take through the scanner. Fortunately, they agreed to check the panniers from the bikes, but this meant opening our panniers in front of everyone and they also asked that we open the little bags like toilet bags and day bags which carry an easy access set of change of clothing inside the panniers.
Once we scanned our big bags, they identified metal and we had to open and pour out everything. We tried to explain that those were the tools but that did not work. The process of re-parking took some more time off our schedule and was not very interesting. We eventually got our entry approval and stamp at the immigration and quickly headed for the customs to clear the bikes. By this time, it was past 1: There was no alternative but to wait till 2: In essence, we spent two hours at the border hence losing some precious time for the remaining part of the journey.
Our plan was to ride all the way to Dar es alam covering a distance of 1, kms in four days. The plan was to do: We ended doing the distance in 5 days. Continue reading and see why? At the border, we asked a few other drivers how the road to Kahama was and they told us it was bad but doable.
That did not exactly define how bad but of cause everyone was using this road. Some people told us it was about 50 kms but we found out it was way more. We left the border at 2: The truth is the first 40 kilometers were fine, just an old good road. Then, the rest was really a tough ride.
There were sections of former tarmac road now just potholes, there were long sections of diversions that were full of gravel, fine deep soil or sand. The road has many trucks from and to Rwanda and therefore in the dusty sections there was zero visibility at times due to dust and all we could do is wait for the trucks to pass and the dust to settle. We arrived at Nyakananzi at around 5: Our maximum speed on that road was 60 kph if we got lucky. At Nyakanazi there is nowhere to sleep. We stopped to fuel and we could see a very good tarmac. We asked if there were any more diversions ahead and were told only a short one about mts long.
We hit the road at about 6: This one turned out to be about 2 kilometers but we were so happy when we saw the tarmac again. We pushed the bikes as though to recover all the lost time and get to Kahama but 12 kilometers before Uyovu, we got in to another diversion. At this time it was dark. The best speed we could do on this stretch was a max 40kps. There were many trucks and that slowed us down too.
It got worse when we lost visibility, and our only option was to follow the trucks as they seemed to light better and had a better visibility. We eventually arrived at Uyovu at 8: We looked for a place to stay and found a small lodge. We asked the lady working there to help us get some food and she gladly got us some chips mayai. We were finally in Tanzania. The following day we were pretty tired and decided to just do a ride to Kahama and have some good rest.
We covered the kms pretty well and first. The road was all good, but the winds get tough sometimes. We spent a night at Kahama and left the following day for Singida. This was going to be kilometers ride. Wamuyu had been to Singida before, and we were excited. We went back to the same PHB hotel she stayed at, a year ago and was really amazing seeing everyone again. We took a walk in the beach just like she did one year ago.
One night at Singida and we left for Dodoma. Hotel are not expensive here and we did not see any backpackers. The price includes breakfast too. We highly recommend visiting Singida. Its really beautiful by Lake Singidani. West Tanzania is mainly dominated by a large central plateau and covered with grassland and plains. We had experienced winds before, but they were not as bad. We left Singida in the morning. The first 30 kilometers were really bad. The winds were just crazy, they had been the same the whole of the previous night and we had been warned.
A few kilometer into it, we stopped for a wind chat ;. From here on the ride was really good and uneventful. We had a really nice ride and only got hard about 25 kilometers to Dar es alam due to heavy trucks traffic. Use the Bagamoyo route to Dar and while on that, please stop for a night and day and Bagamoyo.
This small town is so beautiful. We parked the bikes and we were not to touch them again until the departure day. We took a day to experience Dar es alam. We also met up with Diana our friend from Kenya and experience Dar together. We took a walk in the beach, had fish for lunch and some drinks at a local beach restaurant. After getting ourselves stuffed, we decided to take a boat ride to Mbudya island.
The boat guy waits around for you to enjoy the place. We were also meeting our long time friend Salim. They gave us a very warm welcome and spent time with us. They took us around for many lunches and dinners. Ensured we were well taken care of. We can never thank them enough. Zanzibar is known for honeymooners, white beaches and good food. Initially, Zanzibar was not in our plan until the last night in Rwanda. We looked our next days of travel and route and we changed all that to add some excitement to the trip.
We settled to do Zanzibar. We were in Zanzibar for four days and spent the entire time in Stone town. We were so lucky to hook up with our friends from back home. Zanzibar can be expensive and requires some good planning and budgeting. Besides hotels, there are Airbnb and couch surfing options too. The hotels range from 5 stars to budget hotels. We stayed in Abuso Inn hotel in old town. We visited prison islands while there, did a tour of the stone town, ate different types of foods at the Forodhani Gardens and our favorite restaurant at Stone town was Mash Allah restaurant.
Great food, ambience and service. We returned to our host Joseph after ending our holiday in Zanzibar. We really did not want to leave Tanzania. It had become home, and we were having lots of fun. At our host place, we met other travelers. We met Tracy and Katherine. We however had to leave. On Sunday, we packed up and Mrusha and Hussein came to see us off. We rode with Mrusha to Bagamoyo where we were to have some coffee as we say good bye and continue to Dodoma.
There was the Bagamoyo annual marathon happening on that day, but what caught our hearts is when we rode through the small-town heading to Firefly backpackers for our coffee. Bagamoyo is really beautiful and when we parked our bikes at Firefly, it took us just a couple of minutes to know we were not leaving the town that day. We also walked to where the marathoners were gathering having a relaxed time after the run.
If in Dar, please spare time to visit Bagamoyo. After our day and night in Bagamoyo, we were back on the road again, heading to Malawi. This would take us through Dodoma again, onward to Mikumi national park, Makambako and eventually Kasumulu border. Another 4 days before we enter Malawi and a total of kilometers.
We enjoyed riding through the Mikumi National park. A stretch of about kilometers within the park and it is all tarmac main road. However, you cannot stop or take pictures in this section as its dangerous to do so coz of the world animals. We saw buffalos, monkeys, baboons, giraffes and zebras. The buffalos were the highlight of the ride. We stayed at a lodge called Bastian and we recommend this place highly.
The staff are very welcoming, the ambience so good, the food is delicious, and the campsite is very clean and well maintained. We camped at their tent for USD 25 per person full board and we even got a lunch box each on our departure day. Their tents come with a bed, matress, bedsheets, warm blankets, a small balcony or veranda with two seats.
We were able to park our bikes right next to the tent. The bathrooms and showers are very clean, spacious and with hot water. We were grateful we found this place after the place we had been recommended to was full. At Makambako we stayed at a nice budget hotel and the following day rode to Kasumulu. We had checked on a place to stay on iOverlander app and found one Mara Green backpackers.
We arrived there at around 4: In total we were three people in the entire backpackers which looked more like a deserted place. Nothing works anymore, ran and managed by one elderly man, no kitchen, no bar, no nothing but an old place of what may have once been some nice backpackers. The gentleman was kind enough to help us order some food from the nearby town and was later delivered by a boda boda rider. The three of us, ate together, enjoyed some drinks and danced ourselves to bed.
Keep it here for our experience and fun in Malawi — turuuuu. We entered Rwanda on our Day 12 of the ride. It is the same day we left Kabale in Uganda which was our night stop before crossing the border. We only did about kilometers in total. We had spent the night only 18 kilometers from the border. We arrived at the border early which was a really good thing. Kabale to Kigali is about kilometers. So, it was a pretty short ride for the day. At the border, Uganda immigration and Rwanda are very separate but not far apart. Being in the morning, we did not find many people but there was more than we found at Busia.
There are people who cross the border from either of the two countries Uganda and Rwanda for work and have to go through the immigration although their paperwork processing is different. There were also trucks that had arrived early and a bus or two had arrived as well.
We cleared with Uganda side for exit and then went down to the Rwanda side. We joined the line for the immigration desk and as soon as we were done, we headed for the customs. Cleared the bikes and went to the security desk to get our gate pass. Make sure you pick a gate pass to exit the border as you enter Rwanda. In Rwanda you drive on the right side while in Kenya and Uganda you drive on the left. So, picture our brief moment of surprise.
You must be wondering why if we already knew this — right? Once you pass the barrier to enter Rwanda, you do not switch from left to right immediately. There is about meters you drive on the left then have to switch to the right. Wamuyu was leading and although she was aware of the short distance, a truck just appeared from downhill and there were instant breaks right there.
Anyway, he gave us way and we switched lanes. And that was our welcome to Rwanda moment. It was going to be a slow ride. From the border to Kigali is all down hills. No climbing but descending. There are blind corners and sharp bends almost every meters to a kilometer. Our estimate may be wrong but that was the feeling we got on the road.
That explains why the speed limits are set that low. In Kenya we have 50 KPH within cities, towns, shopping centers, near schools and hospitals. The road is very good tarmac and very scenic. Kigali is a city of a thousand hills and you can imagine the feel going down the hills with a magnificent view from the top. It took Wamuyu a longer time to get used to the right-hand side driving and every time a car showed up from a corner.
Otherwise the ride was smooth all the way till we got in to the city and were welcomed by a roundabout. A pretty confusing moment right there and we almost made a serious mistake. Luckily, a motorist right in front of us noticed our dilemma and stopped. He offered to lead us and even blocked traffic for us. Once he made sure we were in a safe place, he stopped and asked where we were going. We informed him we were meeting someone at a particular place in down town. He called the gentleman on our behalf, confirmed the location and offered to pay a boda boda to take us there. God always sends angels your way.
A night before leaving Kabale, we received and email from Reuters saying they would like to cover our stay in Rwanda. We got it just right on time. We arrive at our meet up point and in a short time him and his colleague arrive, and the interviews begun. Once the interview was done, it was time to go to our hotel which we had earlier been recommended.
He was kind enough to recommend another hotel. He took us there and also negotiated for a good rate for us. This was really very kind of him. Once we settled in to our very cozy room, we planned the rest of the interviews and coverages for the next couple of days were going to be in Uganda. There was going to be a cricket match and Kenya was playing and that was one of the events we really wanted to catch. When we think of Kigali roads, we have the image of a web in mind.
First, you drive on the right-hand side and besides that, the road network is like a web. We went to many places but could still not figure out the route back to the hotel. We therefore decided we were not going to ride in Kigali. A decision that we did not honour to the full. Once a biker always a biker. There is not Uber, Taxify, Little cab or any of those taxis you find on an App. There are the yellow line taxis but very few and not easy to find.
There is also public transport but to specific areas. They are organized, clean, have helmets for passengers and only carry one passenger at a time. If you are two people and stop a boda boda, he stops a second one and the price is agreed before you leave. They also confirm that the other boda boda rider understands where the passenger is going and also knows the route there. The rider and the pillion MUST wear helmets and they follow traffic laws to the letter. That is a traffic offense. The love among bikers is an envy for many. Kudos to the world-wide family. Cedric spoke to us on daily basis and ensured we were comfortable and progressing well.
He organized a meet up over the weekend. We had the Friday night out and on Saturday we rode to the cricket match after which Cedric hosted us to a sumptuous lunch at his house. Kigali is such a blast. Reuters covered this Saturday ride, the cricket match and the lunch. We understand this particular coverage was aired on K You feel like you have known them all your life but one of you have been hiding from the other? We found ourselves in the situation. That was the feeling when we met Naledi and Godfrey. A couple that rides together too. From the first day we met during the Friday night out, we connected and spent amazing time together during our stay in Kigali.
We are a bit emotional writing about this right now. These two made our stay the most amazing experience we have had. They accommodated us, fed us, gifted us, spent loads of time with us, took us to places and we can never thank them enough for their kindness and generosity. We all along knew we were going to visit the genocide memorial. There is no amount of preparation that will have you ready and comfortable for the experience. It was the first place we visited in Rwanda and we are grateful we did that because, you get to understand the cultural context which makes it easy to travel the country and understand the people.
Entry is free and the only thing you pay for is the audio guide equipment and taking pictures inside the memorial. Carry enough soft tissues or a number of handkerchiefs. The experience is going to initiate a mix of emotions. You may lose faith in humanity, you may appreciate what you have, you may be filled with bitterness and will cry most likely through the entire time at the memorial.
One thing that is for sure, you will leave there changed. Spare about hours for the visit to the memorial. The outdoor exhibit has the mass grave sites and some beautiful gardens that seem to offer some peace after the heart-wrenching experience. People from Rwanda come here every day to mourn and reconnect with their families — one of the Rwandese told us. We saw baskets of flowers, roses and some single ones too. Visitors are also allowed to place flowers to honour those that died.
We decided not to share pictures of the memorial. We paid a visit to the Kenyan High Commission. We walked in without an appointment and we were really fortunate to be able to get some time with The Ambassador John Mwangemi from his busy schedule. Like we told you in our previous post, Embassies are for the people. There is so much to learn.
