I was there, travelling north to south on the lake road, in mid-August. It's all fine until you get down near Salima. There, I was told no fuel for 5 days. So went out to Senge Bay resort and camped. What a great place to wait for fuel!
The security supervisor, hearing of my problem, quickly managed to get me 10 litres, at the normal price of 290 kwachas per litre, on the black market. This just got me down to the town at the Mozambique border, where there was plenty of fuel.
