The most comfortable and efficient overland travel in Africa

2 full days of transportation from Lilongwe, Malawi to Tofu, Mozambique. Started at 10am on day one with several mini buses to Tete, hitchhiked with three different 18 wheelers including an overnight, a 2am taxi that got a flat tire and didn’t have a spare which forced us to walk, and finally another taxi to arrive at 4am on the start of day three.
Hitchhiking is the way to go. Large big rigs, large comfortable beds, and more than enough leg room for less than the price of a mini bus.
