Road conditions

Roads in Malawi are very low quality. In Malawi there is one main road called M1. M1 goes from the top of Malawi to the bottom. It is only two lanes but is decent to Malawi standards. On the edges of smaller towns like Mzuzu the roads are unpaved and bumpy. In the rainy season the roads are muddy and hard to get through. In the dry season the roads are dusty and very bumpy.  Some of the paved roads on the lesser traveled parts of the country have lots of potholes and re narrow. Even on M1 the bridges are narrow and falling apart. So if you plan on coming to Malawi prepare for a white knuckled ride.
