Transport to the Cape:

Extensive info & assistance can be found via our 'how to find us' link on the website.

We have links with a number of other establishments in Malawi and can organise collections from airports, other lodges, places of residence in major areas such as Lilongwe, Blantyre, Dedza, Zomba, Liwonde etc. At present we have the Gecko Rav-4 that could do collections but usually we outsource to trusted transporters and then let clients negotiate directly after informing relevant contact details. This can include private car/taxi, luxury minibus, boats from Senga Bay to the Cape & bookings at other lodges/hotels of our trusted accommodation - all of which can be organised through us if people don't necessarily want the hassle of negotiating themselves.

Medical assistance within the area: http://www.billysmalawiproject.org/about.asp which has foreign nurses and doctors working in the village providing assistance & training in the area.
