Car Shipping Lilongwe

The capital of Malawi, Lilongwe, is the largest city in the country. It is located close to Zambia and Mozambique borders. An important transportation and economic hub, the city is named after a river by the same name. In case you are visiting Lilongwe for extended time length or relocating here permanently, having your own personal vehicle makes sense. This allows you greater freedom and control as you will be able to travel faster to your desired destination. Due to wide connection of roadways and border sharing with other countries, local travel is quite simple.

What is more, here you will find many paved roads as well. So, with a personal vehicle, you can be on your own and go wherever required. Nevertheless, those who have experience in traveling along US roads should take care when driving on unpaved roads at Malawi. The government here is continuously trying to improve road conditions. So, if you are thinking about importing your vehicle, you may go ahead. Traveling along the highway allows you to visit neighboring countries with ease.
