Public transport From Lusaka: Several buses leave from Lusaka Intercity Bus station each day and take about 7 hours. You can ask the bus to drop you here or just get off at Katete bus station and get a local taxi back to us in 5 minutes for 20 Kwacha. From Lilongwe: The fastest and easiest way is to get the 6 AM Express bus, the Zambia-Malawi from the City Market, that goes through Immigration (don't forget Passport and, if you are coming from Tanzania, Yellow Fever certificate, avoid changing your money with the hasslers who tend to rip you off) and stops in Katete upon request, usually taking about four hours. From here you get a fast ride in a local taxi to Tiko for 20 Kwacha!
