Getting there

Car

If you are traveling by car, start your journey from the main city in the Southern Region, such as Zomba or Mwanza. Navigate towards Blantyre via the M1 highway. Once you reach Blantyre, follow the signs to the city center. Head towards Kaohsiung Road. La Caverna is located at the Old Manager’s House National Monument on Kaohsiung Road Top, Mandala. Look out for the landmark as you approach; it is a notable location. Ensure you have adequate fuel for the trip, as petrol stations can be sparse in some areas.

Public Transport

For those using public transportation, board a minibus heading to Blantyre from your starting point, such as Zomba. Minibuses are frequent and will drop you at the Blantyre bus station. From the bus station, you can either take a taxi or another minibus heading towards Mandala. If taking a taxi, tell the driver to take you to La Caverna at the Old Manager’s House National Monument on Kaohsiung Road Top. Expect to pay around 1,000 to 3,000 MWK for the taxi fare depending on your negotiation skills and traffic conditions. If using a minibus, ask the conductor to drop you off near Kaohsiung Road; from there, it's a short walk to your destination.
