Explore Lilongwe

Once a small fishing village, now the capital city of Malawi, Lilongwe offers a bustling sprawl of its contrasting districts: Old Town and The Capital City. The Lilongwe River, the inspiration behind the capital's name, flows through the city which lies relatively central to the rest of Malawi and was the favoured administrational hub during the British occupation.
