Getting there

Car

If you're traveling by car, start your journey from Lilongwe. Head north on the M1 road towards Mzuzu. After approximately 200 kilometers, look for signs indicating 'Viphya' or 'Luwawa Forest Lodge'. You will need to turn off the main road approximately 10 kilometers before reaching Mzuzu. Follow the dirt road signs that lead you to the lodge, keeping an eye out for the lodge's own directional signs. The last stretch might be bumpy, so drive carefully.

Public Transportation

For those using public transportation, take a minibus from Lilongwe to Mzuzu. The journey typically takes around 4 to 5 hours, depending on traffic. Once you arrive in Mzuzu, you will need to hire a taxi to take you the remaining 10 kilometers to Luwawa Forest Lodge. Make sure to negotiate the fare beforehand; it usually costs around 3,000 to 5,000 MWK depending on the time of day and your negotiation skills. Inform the taxi driver that you want to go to Luwawa Forest Lodge, and they will know the location.

Tour Guide Services

An alternative option is to book a tour guide service from Lilongwe or Mzuzu. This can include transportation directly to Luwawa Forest Lodge and may also offer guided tours of the surrounding Viphya Mountains. Costs can vary, so it is best to inquire in advance and confirm what is included in the package.
