Many of our guests combine Malawi with a neighbouring country, for example South Luangwa in Zambia. You can take an Ambassador vehicle across the border, as long as you tell us when you book.
How it works
- Tick “Crossing a border” when you book and tell us which country.
- We prepare the papers the vehicle needs to leave Malawi.
- You collect the vehicle with its documents and drive as planned.
What it costs
- A cross-border fee of $75 per rental.
- The usual daily rate, with 200 km a day included; extra kilometres are charged at the rate for your vehicle group.
- Border and road charges of the other country are paid by the driver.
Good to know
- Book early: we need advance notice to prepare the papers.
- Bring your driving licence, plus an International Driving Permit if you are visiting from abroad, and your passport.
- A 4x4 from Group E upwards is the comfortable choice for long distances and gravel roads.
- Prefer not to drive? Add one of our drivers for $10 a day plus $35 for each night away.
