Malawi is a bicycle friendly nation. It is blessed with many beautiful places to visit within easy reach of Blantyre including Mulanje Mountain, Zomba Plateau, Thylo Escarpment & the Shire Valley.

For people who have greater stamina there is the magnificent Lake Malawi and the Nyika and Viphya plateaus.

Wherever you decide to go you will find breathtaking vistas and pristine natural beauty with friendly and warm people.

Recently, we have had many visitors who have been touring the country by bicycle and seen that they had to have their bikes shipped over from Europe to facilitate their tours, and found that we could make it much easier for people who wish to do similar activities by providing this service for them.

We provide high quality mountain bikes for hire to travelers / backpackers, with daily, weekly and monthly rates. Each bike comes with a back carrier and its own bike lock for security when in town or when leaving bikes unattended for any reason.

Many people in Malawi use the bicycle as a primary form of transportation and so provided that traffic rules are followed it is very safe to travel by bike anywhere in the country.

Contact us for Bookings, Rates, or any other information you may require!!
