Before you go

Detailed information


Accomodation

Many accomodation options are available around the slopes. On the mountain, there are 9 cottages and huts operated by the Department of Forestry and another fully furnished cottage operated by the CCAP. We have range of accommodation for all tastes and budgets.

Access

The Mountain does not have road access to the plateau level. There are about 15 paths that start at ~600m above sea level and rise to the plateau level above 2000m taking 3-4 hours. There is a 700m long aerodrome at 2100m on Lichenya plateau suitable for a light aircraft.

Guides and porters

Should visitors require assistance to hike and climb up the mountain or give specific knowledge of ecology, we have certified Guides to assist you during you hike on the mountain. A cook can also be provided.

Emergency service

Should the need arise, a rescue off the mountain can be organised thorugh the a Mulanje Rescue Team. Understandably, a charge exists for this.

What to bring


You should wear loose fitting clothes and sturdy hiking boots. You should carry a waterproof jacket, sunscreen, insect repellant, a hat with a brim, and a torch (with spare batteries).

You need to bring your own sleeping bag, plastic plate/cup, candles, slippers, towel, water bottle, and a backpack each (for yourself and porters). If you are self-catering, there is nowhere to buy food on the mountain, so you must bring your own from Blantyre or Chitakale. The Huts are basic with one or two rooms, pit latrines (drop toilets), and no running water. There are streams nearby and all cooking is done on open fires.
