An old thread but i am planning the Malawi leg of my trip for June 2016 and planning to stop at Cape Maclear, Nkhata Bay, Nyika NP and Livingstonia.
I have emailed Nyika to confirm if I can get in by motorbike. As they have leopards and recently reintroduced lions i am not sure i will be able to do this. I will share the reply here as soon as i have it.
I am assuming that while Cape Maclear is in the Lake Malawi NP there should not be an issue getting there by bike?
Any guidance appreciated - anything else i need to be thinking about?
Also where to you go to get accurate journey times? Google maps says Cape Maclear to Nkhata Bay is 6h4m. Using the same route TomTom route planner says it is 11h29m! Looks like the latter assumes 10kms per hour going west on the M10 from Monkey Bay to the M5. Really?
