OFF-ROAD Challenges at the Mountains of MALAWI // EP.46

We are driving to the Mountains of Malawi , through very muddy paths, challenging our offroad skills.

We left the lake looking for better weather. We are driving to the south of Malawi, which by the way gets even more rain. We struggle to drive in a Saturday as there are many people and animals in the road. Super exhausting!

But we arrive at one forest reserve. There are a few left , these are the only wild spaces and aa safe refugee for animals. Still people keep on chopping trees.

We continue towards the Zomba plateau. An stunning area, with 360° views over the plains and lake of Malawi. We spent our time watching the spectacular views, specially in the morning when the clouds are below and one has the feeling is flying. Incredible!

Later we realize that we got a nail stuck at our tire. Believe it or not is the first one for these tires. BF goodrich tires are soooooo good.
We use the ARB repair kit, to seal the hole before we go down.

We then get our first traffic fine for this trip. Malawi police are everywhere, it’s insane!

We continue and stop for lunch in Blantyre. The rain hits us again and as we take one small road we start sliding down the path. We make it to a flat place and sleep next to the road. Early in the morning we get to try the challenging muddy path again, sadly it doesn’t go as planned.

We try to find a new place to camp, and guess what another challenging off-road track to go up the mountains. Once up we enjoy amazing sunsets.

Enjoy the Ride!
