Bushlore Africa Cars in Malawi: a 4x4 in Lilongwe

The rental company

A 4x4 for driving, lodges for sleeping

Bushlore Africa Cars, the Bushlore company's offer of 4x4s without berths, is listed in Malawi with a single departure point: Lilongwe. CoolDrive has not yet recorded any model or price there. In South Africa, the range is limited to a five-seat Toyota Hilux; the vehicle offered in Malawi is described in the offer, and the handover location is given to you at booking.

The formula suits the country well. The beaches on the central lake, Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve, Kasungu or the Mulanje Massif have lodges and chalets that make it possible to travel without a tent. Four-wheel drive remains useful on the access tracks to the reserves, especially after the rains.

Our view: an option worth exploring if you want a real bed every night. With no recorded price, compare it on your dates with Bushlore Africa's 4x4 campers and with Caprivi, the two other rental companies present in Malawi in our catalogue.

Practical tips

Our tips for booking with Bushlore Africa Cars

Book lakeside accommodation early

During the dry season and the year-end holidays, places to stay in Cape Maclear, Senga Bay or on Likoma Island fill up. With no berths in the vehicle, settle your stops before confirming the hire.
Arrive before dark

Malawian roads are poorly lit and shared with pedestrians, heavily loaded bicycles and livestock. The sun sets early, around 18:00 all year round: plan each journey so you reach your stop before dark.

First rental of this type of vehicle in a professional context where the rental must take place from France to Canada. Many questions and Cooldrive (Marlène) has been a valuable support in guiding my choices. Efficiency and responsiveness beforehand, and on-site a vehicle and service that met our expectations. No complaints. Great!
