Malawi, known for its safaris, breathtaking scenery, and incredible wildlife, attracted nearly 1 million tourists last year. While most visits are trouble-free, it’s essential to take sensible precautions to guard against muggers and bag-snatchers. Common crimes include theft, burglary, armed robbery, assault, and carjacking, particularly around the main bus stations in Lilongwe and Blantyre. Demonstrations may occur, especially around political issues and events like elections.
The rainy season, lasting from November to April, can make roads more challenging to traverse and certain areas impassable due to flooding. Violent attacks against visitors have occurred in the Mount Mulanje area. If you plan to visit, exercise extreme vigilance and hire an experienced local guide. For security advice before climbing Mount Mulanje, contact the Mountain Club of Malawi.
No matter the extent of your security needs, we have a solution. Our experienced security partners can offer a range of services from low profile armoured cars with highly skilled drivers, highly trained armed or unarmed bodyguard protection, threat analysis and vulnerability assessment, journey management, media team security, executive protection and more.
